Controversy
During his tenure as Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Home Affairs, he controversially attributed a high rate in statutory rape cases among Malays to Malays being "culturally more sensitive" about their youth, and thus reporting more cases, than "non-Malays [who] are maybe more accepting about" statutory rape.[5]
