To be quiet towards husband's abusive behavior? This is utterly unacceptable! https://twitter.com/malaysiakini/status/1248836310946598919 …malaysiakini.com✔@malaysiakiniSIS: Underlying tone in Siti Zailah's 'advisory' video wrong https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/520049 2985:51 PM - Apr 11, 2020Twitter Ads info and privacy316 people are talking about thisYesterday, Siti Zailah (above) posted a video clip on her social media accounts where she acknowledged the movement control order might put stress on families leading to domestic violence
In view of this, she provided three "tips" on how to defuse tensions including being appreciative, showing forgiveness and being religious
She also said that victims of domestic abuse should contact her ministry's Talian Kasih hotline for help
Although Siti Zailah did not overtly say women should be patient and accept and forgive their abusive partners, many critics, including social activist Marina Mahathir, have interpreted her message as such in the context of the entire video clip
Sisters in Islam (SIS) said the underlying tone that women should remain patient, accept and forgive their partner's abusive attitude was wrong
SIS said Siti Zailah and the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry should have been clearer in their messaging on protecting women and children from abusive husbands and fathers. - Mkini
