KOTA KINABALU: State Youth
and Sports Minister Datuk Peter Pang has condemned a young couple for abusing
Information Technology (IT).
"It is not giving a
good example to the youthsÉthey must be out of their minds," he said,
commenting on news reports after the sexual exploits of Alvin Tan and his
partner Vivian Lee in a sex blog came to light.
"In one of the reports,
she (Vivian) also said that if her children are below 18, she would tell them
that what she did was incorrect but if any of them were to do something
similar, then she would support them no matter what.
"They seem to be proud
of themselvesÉas the Minister of Youth, I condemn this kind of act," he
said.
"I would rather be
watching the Oppa Gangnam Style," said Pang.
Meanwhile, Pang called on
the Boys Brigade to contact him for more information regarding government
programmes through his Ministry to further develop its members in terms of
economy, patriotism and religion.
"A good networking
relationship between us can further enhance the development of our youths in
Sabah as well as reduce the percentage of misconduct among them."
Pang said this at the Sabah
Boys Brigade Founder's Day celebration held at the All Saints Cathedral, here,
Saturday.
Good education accompanied
by strong character is what makes one stand out from the rest, he said.
"Good education alone is not enough."
Pang pointed out that having
been in existence for 129 years, the Founder's Day ceremony marked another
milestone in the history of the Boys Brigade movement.
According to Pang, he was
made to understand that the Boys Brigade in Malaysia had been serving youths in
Sabah since 1967, with 15 companies in Sabah and 20 school platoons -
accounting for nearly 2,500 members.
Meanwhile, praise and
worship sessions as well as band performances were held, apart from the handing
over of awards.
Among those present was
Sabah State Commissioner, Hon. Captain Henley Liew Yun Ye.
