Angered netizens signed a petition to stop one medical student from becoming a doctor in Malaysia, after ‘sexist’ comment on actress Emily Kong’s death
PETALING JAYA, March 11 — More than 22,600 Malaysians have signed a petition calling for the International Medical University (IMU) to take action against a student for lewd and sexist remarks over the death of local singer and actress, Emily Kong.
The petition called Stop Kiren Raj wants the university to take action against the individual who initially commented on a news portal’s report of Kong fatal accident on Saturday.
“This is what happens when women think they can do everything on their own and be independent,” he said in a now-deleted Facebook comment on Facebook.
While many offered condolences on The Star’s Facebook page which reported the tragedy, he commented that the accident could have been avoided had she not left the pub alone, despite no mention of her prior location or activity.
His distasteful lewd comments angered netizens which later resulted the call for the petition.
