THE Women and Family Development Ministry (KPWKM) took to its official Instagram account on March 30 to share some advice for wives and families during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period. Netizens took to Twitter to express their horror at the pictures posted, in particular one which seems to be giving advice to women.

It states that if you see your partner doing something that you do not want them to do, refrain from nagging them and use “humorous” words like “Cara sidai baju macam ni lah sayangku (This is the way to hang clothes up, my love)”, speaking in a Doraemon voice while giggling. Doraemon was even trending on Malaysian Twitter because of the uproar that ensued following the ministry’s Instagram post. Some saw it as chauvinistic from a ministry that is supposed to champion women’s rights.
