This is one of the times that Unspun is proud of being a Malaysian. After Datuk Wong Chun Wai of The Star highlighted Indonesian blogger Nila Tanzil’s brush with the nincompoops in the Malaysian Tourism Board, Jeff Ooi pointed out Nila’s postings.
Since then the Malaysian wong cilik (Javanese for the common man, or woman) bloggers have been visiting Nila’s personal and corporate blogs to commiserate and to encourage her.
The message mostly is that they are sorry for their petty bureaucrats’ incompetence and behavior and that Malaysia really has much more to offer the visitor.
Unspun thinks that at the rate things are going, the MTB should just sack its nincompoops and hire the Malaysian wong cilik bloggers instead-they are certainly doing a better job promoting the country and building up goodwill with our neighbors. Way to go bloggers!
