What is our Minister of Tourism Thinking???

Ohhh my, what has our Tourism Minister done this time.... Here are some excerpt from the article few days back



The Tourism Minsiter Tunku Adnan lashed out on March 8, 2007 that all bloggers on the Internet are liars, out of which 80% are unemployed 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.

I can't believe one of our ministers actually said this... wat not.. our tourism minister and he made this statement on the year when we are trying to attract tourist to our country. Not only did he depict our country as 'TOLERANT' with one another, he went on generalizing women bloggers as liars. *Smack hand on forehead* Plus...he said it prior to International Women's Day *bang head on the wall*. Alamak....what are you thinking Mr Minister??? Since when were we even close to having a Civil War? I truly hope this doesn't jeapordize our country's campaign 'Visit Malaysia 2007'. If you're a foreigner reading this....please don't let this stop you from visiting our country. And if you're female.. sigh* Wat can I say...This is truly shameful.
