A female TV presenter with the Kuwait Television in Kuwait was suspended for calling a male colleague "handsome" on air. The female present was handing over coverage of the country's municipal elections to the male colleague when she cheekily asked him stop adjusting his turban as he was already handsome.

Her humor was met with temporal suspension after the official TVstation run by the Ministry of Information decided to punish her for indiscretion.





It even sparked outrage among some of Kuwait's top officials, according to Al Qabas newspaper,





Mohammad Al Hayef sent out a tweet to Mohammad Al Jaberi, the Minister for Information, asking him to take action against the female TV host.





Her suspension has caused divided opinion on Kuwaiti social media, with some supporting the government's decision and others outraged over the reaction to a harmless joke.
