Problem is no less so foreign media spotlight.
One of them Straits Times. Daily pages that tell how tweet Minister Tifatul have reaped the wrath of a number of tweeps response. Presenter Desi Anwar, for example, through his account @ desianwar, said, "Pak Tifatul, listen to me. If you can not make a tweet with a good and proper, you better be quiet."
