On the fateful day of 8th March, or International Women's Day, our Minister in-charge of the all important Visit Malaysia Year 2006, lashed out at all bloggers, and in particular, female bloggers as reported in Sinchew Daily.The Minister of Tourism, Dato' Tenkgu Adnan Tengku Mansor lashed out that all bloggers on the Internet are liars, out of which 80% are unemployed women.
“All bloggers are liars, they cheat people using all kinds of methods. From my understanding, out of 10,000 unemployed bloggers, 8,000 are women.”I don't even think my personal comments are needed on the issue. The loose screws are clear for all to see. So beyond the Court Jesters , those who always blames the rakyat and those who think we are stupid, we also have some who are just not quite "there".
He said that bloggers spread rumours, disrupt social harmony and many bloggers are slanderous and are cheating people with their blogs.
“All bloggers are not in favour of national unity. Our country has been successful because we are very tolerant with each other, if not, there will be civil war, the Malays will kill the Chinese, the Chinese will take revenge and kill the Malays, and the Indian will kill everyone.”
He urged the rakyat not to simply trust bloggers, and gamble our future away because the achievement we gain in the 50 years of independence is not an easy task.
And why was "Tengku" apparently so upset? Just because a female TV journalist didn't have a good experience while covering Flora Festival 2007. What a clown.

I can't believe this statement could have come out from a respectable minister who is part of the government of our country. I don't know whether I should be amused or incensed by such a derogatory remark. :shakehead:
no apology,
no resignation,
as usual,
as other scandals,
this land is terribly
sick!
No wonder, more moving out,
while laborers move in.
Questions:
1. How did he know that you and I are Internet bloggers?
2. Who helped him to collect such data?
3. How reliable was the data?
4. What type of analysis tool(s) did he use?
5. What made him to conclude that you and I are liars?
6. Who is the biggest / famous liar now?
Gosh....what is this country heading to?
A typical "wooden head' sitting in parliament, only knowing to nod when directed by their political heads!
Maybe that minister also 'failed' his statistics paper!
he he
They cannot resign. If they resign who is going to put in rice into their rice bowl?
Wonder through which end of his torso Datuk Adnan speaks???
OK, and then there was this....

'What text messaging has done to literacy is well documented (or maybe not) but while the cellular masses have dumbed themselves down to lives devoid of vowels, the Internet revolution continues apace. There is now a place called the "blogosphere", touted by its denizens as a Utopia of freedom of expression.
In my opinion, what they’ve really done is prove why freedom of expression was a really bad idea. In this country, a host of folk who never had a hope of getting published are now proving why not.
The local blogosphere is the domain of life-challenged grumblestiltskins and disenfranchised pundits whose asinine maunderings only show why they should never have had day jobs in the first place.
Rumour, innuendo, half-truths and damned lies are their stock- in-trade, and previously sacrosanct standards, principles and ethics are now laughable.
Are they not entitled to their opinion? Of course they are, as much as everyone else is entitled to ignore them. I would venture, however, that everyone has an opinion and a rectum, and not that many seem capable of telling one from the other.'
Thanks to Rocky, and his sharp reading....
So? We are liars, and now we can't tell our rear from our mouth...

Looks like it is not a case of "wire short" as my electrician puts it but of "fuse box mampus".
