Basma al-Shammar was on TV covering the country's muncipal election last weekend when she tried tp alert her colleague Nawaf to stop fixing his hair as they were live on Al-Arabiya. She was suspended after she called her male colleague 'handsome' on live TvAl-Arabiya. "Nawaf, you do ot need to adjust your head garment, you are handsome as is" she can be heard saying in a video that went viral. The decision was taken after a male MP complained that to Kuwait TV about her comment. Shammar meanwhile slammed brouhaha sorrounding the incident. "What happend is not a joke or something else. It is well known that customs of communication in the Gulf is that when you see someone adjusting his attire, you tell him you look good or handsome- that is what I told him you do not need to adjust your hrad garment you look handsome, meaning your attire looks good, and you are in good shape, and we are waiting for you to report the news," she told AlArabiya English.
