Monkeying around with words

From The Star:

Mohd Said and his colleague Kinabatangan MP Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin have come under fire for saying in the Dewan Rakyat that Fong also “leaked every month.”

“Who says that it means the menstruation cycle? Bocor can be translated into different things.

“Besides the leaks in the Parliament building, it can also mean to urinate.

“Apologise to Fong Poh Kuan? What is there to apologise for? I did not mean to offend her or other women,” he said when contacted by the daily on Saturday.

As if monkeying around in Parliament is not enough, now they're monkeying around with the meaning of their words as well. But then you can't really blame these monkeys when their leader attempts to do a language gymnastic and taichi to change a "cancellation" to a "postponement".
