defence of women bloggers, malaysia minister done it again
Sin Chew Jit Poh report regarding his remarks on women bloggers. I think he has
not handled Nila's complaints well, just look at his body language and the tone of voice
(is this the kind of minister that we want?) I don't think the issue has been resolved . . .

He said last week and reported by Sin Chew Jit Poh chinese language newspaper, Elizabeth Wong posted translation here. "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." The minister reportedly made the comments in response to questions by reporters about criticisms of Malaysian tourism authorities contained in an Indonesian broadcast journalist Nila Tanzil.
The report sparked a storm of criticism among Malaysian sisters bloggers, including Marina Mahathir, who called Tengku Adnan's reported remarks an "unbelievable bit of foot-stomping" by "a supposedly sober person in high office." Susan Loone said in an open letter to Tengku Adnan that his reported comments were "highly demeaning" and seemed to reflect the ideas of a "woman hater." More from Susan Loone.
