Sembiring sought to deflect criticism by claiming Tuesday's skin-to-skin contact was all Michelle Obama's fault. "I tried to prevent [being touched] with my hands but Mrs. Michelle held her hands too far toward me [so] we touched," Tifatul Sembiring explained on his Twitter page (according to a translation provided in the AP report).
Some local observers laughed at that idea, and one female reporter gleefully said he wouldn't be able to avoid shaking her hand anymore, AP reported.
I think he needs to immediately resign from office and cleanse himself of the impure thoughts that the touch of a female hand will bring to him. How can he be the information minister with this grievous sin hanging over his head?
As the Koran says: [16.117] A little enjoyment and they shall have a painful punishment.
