PARLIAMENT Opposition lawmaker Teresa Kok (DAP-Seputeh) says she is not afraid of having more Malays in her constituency, as they will love her just as BN backbencher MPs do.

"I'm not worried about Malays moving to Seputeh as the Malays who move to Seputeh will surely like me.

"Just like the (BN) backbenchers here, even though they like to argue with me, but I know they love me," she told the House today, inciting laughter from the MPs present.

Kok was responding to Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, who on Sunday was reported as saying that the DAP lawmaker was against development in her constituency, as she feared an influx of Malays.
