KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 — The restoration of a Japanese war monument in Alor Setar, Kedah, last Thursday is a state matter as it is not within the compound of the Tourism Ministry office there, said Datuk Mohamaddin Ketapi. The tourism and culture minister said the monument occupied land on an adjacent lot and was consequently not under his ministry’s purview.“This is a state matter and I cannot comment federal ministers cannot comment on state matters,” he told reporters when met at the Parliament lobby here today.
Baik tak payah jadi Menteri macam ni. Buat duit Federal jee ada Tourism Minister!
So the Tourism ministry is saying that as long as it's not in their compound, you can put up any memorial, statue or monument. Not even a principled stand on whether it is right or wrong or even to advise the State govt. 'No wonder foreigners find us so friendly.'
Wow. Now the state matter. Kedah state said it was the Japanese consul matter, they are only there to officialize and glorify the japanese invaders' monument.
Samurai bond?
This IS Malaysia Baharu!
