Biatch

Wow. Malaysia's very own Minister of Science Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) called his fellow constituent party within Barisan National a "political bitch".

"The worst kind of enemy is the one that is within," he said in a statement, noting the Sabah Progressive Party's "persistent flirting with the opposition to bring down the Government".

Maximus, who is also Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, said in doing so the party renders itself being viewed as nothing more than a political bitch.

I guess nowadays language like this is of the norm for Malaysian politicians, where 18SX words are exchanged on a daily basis. I wonder what it must be like to be a kid reading mainstream papers today. One would have to be exposed to words like sodomy, anal sex, rape, bugger, bitch, homo, etc, and have its explanations skirted around.

Why do they even bother with censorship then?
