Read these first:
- Sloone – Malaysia’s Tourism Minister is a “dimwit”
- Elizabeth Wong – IWD: Tengku Adnan whacks women bloggers
- Malaysians Abroad – Why the finger-pointing?
Brilliant deduction from Malaysian Tourism Minister Tunku Adnan. Where did he get such info:
- there are 10,000 unemployed bloggers in Malaysia/Malaysians (living here or abroad?)
- 8,000 of those 10, 000 are women
- we spread rumours
- we dislike national unity?
I am unemployed right now. I am a woman. I just celebrated International Women’s Day! The things I blogged about Malaysia on human rights, safety, community, etc are my opinion, some with facts. I don’t spread rumours (false info). I blog.
I guess, in a twisted way, it’s good news that unemployed women in Malaysia are blogging – they are hi tech! So does that mean that the unemployed men are not hi tech in blogging and spreading rumours?
We blog about our country (good & bad) because we want our country to improve. It’s our Tanah tumpahnya darahku. I still prefer living here to other countries (mostly it’s because I haven’t lived in another country) even though some of the things that our politicians say are front page jokes.
If we (all races, bloggers or not) were not tolerant and compromising, wouldn’t we have civil war NOW? Malaysians are not that violent. At least most of us would reason with one another, not simply accuse.
What positive attitude did he show to the world by accusing unemployed women bloggers of spreading rumours and dislike unity?
If the world learn from him, the world would learn that Malaysia’s the heaven for anyone who want to bullshit as a minister.
you tell him girl! don’t let anyone push women around, not no one not no how!
Some, no… most politicians open their fat mouths without thinking and more often than not stick their big feet in. Anything to gain themselves some publicity … good or bad, it doesn’t matter.
What is the basis for him to make such a lame statement? Where did he get the statistics from? Does he know how to blog? Wait… does he even know what a blog is or does he rely on his kuncu-kuncus to tell him?
Your blog is fantastic. Women move the world forward!
Happy (belated) International Women’s Day!
ElKat, I thought Willy dropped by.. Nobody should push anybody around!
Blue, he’s definately more famous than before, albeit for the wrong reasons. I think even we can become politicians.
