Tourism and Culture Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz has called the pro-Umno blogger who had dragged his name into the nudist fiasco in Penang "stupid".

The connection that the blogger made with the nudist event to the minister's presence at the state on August 3 to promote the George Town Festival was baseless.

"That blogger is stupid. If you want to blog, at least have some brains," said Nazri ( left ) at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

“When I go back to my place (constituency), no one is going nude there.

“If I were the one who encourages nudism, there should be nudists in my constituency every week because I go back there every week.

“That stupid blogger need not be bothered. No standard,” he added.

Ever since a video of the nudist event that took place at a national park in Penang went viral, BN has been trying to pin the blame on the DAP-led Penang government.

The said blogger blamed Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng for encouraging the event, pointing to the alleged "intimacy" between him and Nazri depicted on a photos circulating in cyberspace of the duo in seemingly good terms.

The fiasco has also sparked an ongoing war of words between DAP and Penang BN over where the fault lies.

Lim pointed out that the park is under the Environment Ministry's administration, while state BN chairperson Teng Chang Yeow is arguing that Penang state has three reps on the park council's board.

‘No need for finger-pointing’

Weighing into the incident, Nazri said all quarters should not resort to finger-pointing.

The priority now, he said, is for the police to conduct an all-round investigation over the matter.

“We do not blame anyone. This (nudism) is wrong. We should take action. This is not the time to point fingers at each other,” he said.

Last week, police identified 15 individuals who were involved in the nude sports event, seven of whom are Malaysians.

Penang police officers have also taken at least 10 statements from the parties concerned to facilitate the investigation.
