Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim said if any of his party representatives were to use the term 'kucing kurap' on junior officers, they would be strongly reprimanded.Anwar said it is demeaning to use the word although Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi may have meant it differently.
"Sometimes in a multiracial society, certain sensitivities (in people) may be lacking," Anwar said when met at the launching of Seberang Jaya assemblyperson Afif Bahardin's service centre in Tingkat Siakap 3, Taman Siakap.
"In Malay, the term 'kucing kurap' is really insulting to the lowest rank of society," he added.
