The Statement Was Made In An Interview With Utusan Online, Where He Was Asked To Weigh His Opinion On The Issue Of Caning Children. He Gave The Analogy That This Form Of Punishment Is Permissible Under Islam To Train Wives And Children On Their Duties.

However, He Added That This Should Only Be Considered As A Last Resort If All Methods Fail, Which Includes Reprimanding And Sleeping Separately From The Wife
The Statement Did Not Go Down Well With The Women's Aid Organisation (WAO), Who Came Out Strongly Against This Claim And Stated That Any Physical Abuse On Women Is A Crime
