This is not a joke.
Malaysian Minister for Tourism, Tengku Adnan was reported by Sin Chew (9 March 07, Early Evening edition pp 5) to have said the following
(non-authoritative translation from Chinese to English, please feel free to improve/correct this, Mr J and Mr Tuna.):-
- “Bloggers are liars. They use all sort of ways to cheat others. From what I know, out of 10,000 unemployed bloggers, 8,000 are women.
“Bloggers like to spread rumours, they don’t like national unity. Today our country has achievements because we are tolerant and compromising. Otherwise we will have civil war.
“Malays will kill Chinese, Chinese will kill Malays, Indians will kill everybody else.”
He asked people not to believe bloggers and gamble away Malaysia’s future because 50 years of Merdeka (Independence) takes a lot to achieve it.
“We have to show to the people our positive attitude. If the world learns from us, there will peace and no civil war.
He said this in reaction to an Indonesian blogger/tv journalist, Nila Tanzil, who didn’t have many nice things to write about Malaysian bureaucracy while she was here shooting a travel show. But at least she was polite about in her blog. Her colleague was more honest.
Mr Minister. Did you realise Thursday was a quasi-sacred day for feminists and women’s rights activists? A most inappropriate time to be going around calling women liars, anti-national unity etc. etc.
And to be going after Nila when her partner was killed in the Yogya Garuda tragedy only yesterday? Don’t you even have a heart? Weren’t you taught manners and etiquette in school or at home?
Oh. I forgot. Umno (cut to scene:- unsheathe keris, wave in the air).
Waleh.... The face look like Monty lah zorro. Maybe wrong picture lo....
ReplyDeleteWell Kepimpinan Melalui Teladan. I do wat the BOSS do LAH.
Adios
Just what VMY needs… a moron adding to other moronic comments usually spewed by Semi-value & Co on domestic issues. Guess you have to show your IQ level is the same as them to get nominated for the coming elections. And what better way then to make such a statement? Perhaps he is pissed off with women because a measlely Indon showed his Ministry not up to the mark. If it was a caucasian women he would have been shedding copius tears and offering his personal services.
ReplyDeleteWhat I commented at Lucia's blog. Since I am a male commenter (semi-blogger?), by default I must be speaking the truth!
Ask Nila to bring some Indon folk Jamu for the tengku's verbal diarrheoa on her next trip (if there's any wild horse strong enough to drag her here again)...
ReplyDeleteYou vote UMNO this is what you get. Pea Brain Tengku Adnan has got to go.
