VMCC: 観光相の暴言 (Japanese Translation).
Let’s just say, Tengku Adnan was really joking, and he is regretting it.
He should. Because bloggers from all over the world paid attention.
Hong Kong University Assistant Professor Rebecca MacKinnon, former CNN journalist and very-much-employed blogger has posted a link on our Minister’s “joke” in her March 13 entry of RConversation, Taiwanese Chinese Global Voices blogger Portnoy has posted a link on the topic on his blog, and this is a version in Japanese:

Tengku Adnan: Bloggers are Liars
トゥンクー・アドナン：ブロガーは嘘つき
80% are Unemployed Women
80％は失業中の女性クアラルンプール：今日（2007年3月8日）、ブロガーは皆嘘つきで、そのブロガーの80％は仕事にあぶれた女性だとトゥンクー・アドナン観光相は激しく非難した。
「全てのブロガーは、あらゆる手段を使って人々を騙す嘘つきだ。私の見解では、失業中のブロガーが1万人いたら、そのうちの8千人は女性だ。」
観光相のこの暴言は、2007年マレーシアＧＰセールの際に行われた記者会見中、テレビの司会者にあるブログで書かれた疑惑について質問された時に出た。最初はあっけにとられていた会場の観客は、どっと笑い出した。
観光相は自分を応援する女性の投票者はいくらか減るかもしれないと言ったが、述べたことを撤回することもせず、それが冗談であったとも言わなかった。
ブロガーは噂を広め、社会の調和を台無しにし、多くのブロガーは自分のブログに中傷的なことを書き散らし、人々を騙していると観光相は語った。
「国の結束を支持するブロガーなど居ない。マレーシアは、異なる人種がお互いに寛容であるから、うまくやってこられたのだ。そうでなければ内乱が起こってしまう。マレー人は中国人を殺し、中国人は仕返しにマレー人を殺し、インド人は誰それかまわず殺すだろう。」
観光相は、独立後のマレーシアの50年間の業績は、大変な仕事だったのだから、ブロガーを信じて、国の将来を狂わせたりしないように、国民に注意を促した。
「マレーシア人のように寛容になれば、戦争も内乱もない平和な世界が可能だということを、私たちが積極的に世界に教えるべきだ。」
観光省がマレーシアをプロモートしているのは、観光省が恩恵を受けるためだけではなく、マレーシア国民の利益のためなのだ、と観光相は語った。
マレーシアの観光産業はベトナム、カンボジア、フィリピンといった近隣諸国の手ごわいライバルがいるため、今は大事な時期であり、積極的に取り組むべきだ、と強調した。
Keep Blogging. Keep Living.
