Ku Nan and I
"I am here because of women".
Tourism Minister Tengku Adnan and I sat side by side this afternoon at a press conference after the National Press Club-Celcom VMY Treasure Hunt 2007. He was asked about the "blogging" controversy. I was not taking notes so please refer to Malaysiakini and the media for exact quotes. But it was clear the Minister was denying the Sin Chew report last week that he had described all bloggers as liars. He said he had meant only the Indonesian blogger, Nila Tanzil, not bloggers in general and not women bloggers. He said something to the effect that he loves and respects women, that he relies on women for support in his electorate, and he wouldn't have been in this world if not for a woman (his mother).
WOW. Great exercise in damage control, don't you think?
On second thoughts, he should have engaged Nila Tanzil as his PR agent or publicist; or is it a case of Hell Hath No Fury Like a Man Scorned?
Check out the cute 'culprit' that had caused such a GROSS 'misunderstanding' and animosity between our royal Minister and 'unemployed' women bloggers in Malaysia!

Thanks for drifting into my blog and being kind enough to key in a few words. Funny, before it used to be 'to pen a few lines'.

Anyway the piece was written before the old fart woman.

Yeah, why not an eassay competition on if I were a Tourism Minister. We should get Mr. Rectum Big Words to be the judge. Points given to how many big, high sounding (signifying nothing) words the writer used and of course, the word 'rectum' must be used at least 10 times.

Sorry to kacau you. Just drop by to say thank you.

Hey, you're most welcome.
Great idea to get both Old Woman/Man Fart and Mr Rectum to judge the essay competition!
And, mind you, only unemployed female bloggers are qualified to enter!
