Malaysian men have extramarital sex because of "wives who neglect their responsibilities" to their husbands, a Malaysian MP has told his country's parliament, outraging women's groups.
"Husbands driving home after work see things that are sexually arousing and go to their wives to ease their urges," said independent lawmaker Ibrahim Ali, according to online portal Malaysiakini.
"But when they come home to their wives, they will say, 'wait, I'm cooking,' or 'wait, I'm getting ready to visit relatives'," Ibrahim said.
"In Islam, wives are supposed to stop everything to fulfil their husband's demands."
Ali heads Perkasa, a right-wing Malay nationalist group, seeking to protect ethnic Malay dominance in politics.
His strident comments came as he asked about plans by the government's religious development department to educate wives on their responsibilities.
Wives "failing in their duties" pushed men to go to "private places to satisfy their urges", he said.
An aide to the lawmaker has confirmed the remarks but has declined further comment.
His comments have prompted fury among women's groups in a nation with a growing sex industry and a problem with human trafficking.
Women's Aid Organisation chief Ivy Josiah said Ibrahim's comments were unacceptable for a parliamentarian.
"I am appalled as he equates women to being a sex toy and what is worse is that he uses religion to try and justify his position," she said.
"The comments not only show that Ibrahim Ali is a Malay supremacist but a male supremacist as well."

That's Sharia law for ya, it's always the woman's fault.
