The MPs who made the "bocor" remarks in Parliament made a formal public apology to all women after meeting Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil Friday morning.
Shahrizat said there is now "closure" with the open apology by Jasin MP Datuk Mohd Said Yusof and Kinabatangan MP Datuk Bung Mokthar Radin.
She added that her Ministry accepts the apology with "grace".
"It is up to them to personally and specifically apologise to (Batu Gajah MP) Fong Po Kuan," she said.
"I would like to categorically state that sexism in any form, by words or action, by men or women, whether in Parliament made by elected representatives of both Government and Opposition or indeed anywhere else in this country, is not acceptable.
"I have in no uncertain terms communicated to the two MPs from Kinabatangan and Jasin the Ministry's unflinching stand on this matter i.e. do not trifle with gender issues.
"They have offered their sincere apologies and expressed their remorse over what had happened as they said they never intended to offend anybody.
"As they have tendered their public apology to the women of Malaysia through this Ministry, we must have the grace to accept it with a serious reminder that this kind of episode must never happen again."
