Malaysian Speaker urged to explain reasons for keeping LGBT lawmakers

House Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia recently came under fire for turning down a motion to bar free-sex practitioners and LGBTs

The House Speaker should voice out his stand on homosexuality and free sex since they are at odds with Malaysia’s moral and religious values, said Kedah Anti-Malpractices Action Body.

Khairul Anuar Ramli, chairman of the conservative group, claims that Pandikar Amin Muli, Speaker for the lower house Dewan Rakyat, should tell Malaysians why he rejected an anti-LGBT motion last week, reported the New Straits Times.
