Pertama sekali MK melahirkan rasa simpati terhadap Mindef kerana kandungan di dalam laman web mereka telah dipermainkan oleh The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)..
MK petik daripada WSJ:-
Next time you visit the Malaysian Ministry of Defence, which handles a defense budget totaling several billion dollars, make sure you don’t wear any “clothes that poke the eye.” If you’re a man, though, a “tight Malay civet” is allowed – at least according to the English translations on the ministry’s website.
In an embarrassing gaffe, the Ministry of Defence overlooked imperfect English translations on its website, which soon went viral on social media websites Facebook and Twitter.
Under a section called “ethical clothing” advising employees on appropriate office wear, women were warned against wearing clothes “that poke the eye” – a direct translation of the Malay phrase for revealing outfits. The civet slip came under the dress code for men, which said “collared shirts and tight Malay civet” were appropriate.
Other unfortunate translations were found throughout the website, including a section that said the Malaysian government took “drastic measures to increase the level of any national security threat” after independence from British colonial rule in 1957.
The ministry admitted to using Google Translate, a service that offers online automatic translations for over 60 languages, to provide an English-language version of their Malay website. Though many Malaysians are proficient in English and the language is taught in schools at an early age, Bahasa Malaysia (or simply “Malay”) is the official language of the country - The Wall Street Journal
Bagi MK, perkara seperti ini tidak sepatutnya berlaku pada Mindef.. mungkin pihak pengurusan laman web mereka terlepas pandang pada perkara remeh semacam ni.. namun bagi sesetengah pihak, perkara cenggini mampu dijadikan bahan jenaka.. ada screenshot yg MK dapat drpd blogger lain..

Lepas ni Mindef harus berhati-hati bila publish sesuatu dalam laman web mereka.. media antarabangsa sentiasa memerhatikan kita.. ;) jangan sampai pisang berbuah dua kali.. malu kami rakyat Malaysia..
