Is there any way that the papers misquoted him and I might’ve mistaken our Education Minister for a sexist dweeb? Here are two back to back quotes in a news item in The Star about the Minister wanting to make sports a priority in Malaysian schools:
“For one, not all schools have fields now and there are also not enough sports teachers.
“I don’t mean to offend anyone but 80% of our teachers are women. Not that they are not important, but we need some men as well and we will have to figure out how to draw them into the profession.”
Can you blame me after reading the two quotes making the inference that he thinks only men can be sports teachers? What is a sports teacher anyway?
