This comes after a photo of her in what appeared to be a casino in Las Vegas, which she posted privately on her Instagram, went viral and drew brickbats from netizens.

Azalina, you set yourself up by taking photo in Vegas casino
YOURSAY | ‘And who paid for your trip? The Malaysian taxpayers, is it?’
Azalina warns of social media dangers after Las Vegas photo
Slumdog: Let me get this straight, Minister in the PM’s Department Azalina Othman Said. You went to Las Vegas, got very excited when you saw all those poker machines and decided to take a photo of yourself in front of the poker machines. So basically you set up yourself for ridicule.
Now you are trying to deflect the brickbats coming your way by scaring the daylights out of the civil servants that they will be charged under the law if they don’t use social media responsibly.
But they had nothing to do with the posting of your picture from Instagram.
Your comment that, “I went to Las Vegas, and you know, there are many gambling machines in Las Vegas” is like saying I went to China and you know there are many Chinese there.
Anonymous #44199885: I don’t see the rationale for the de facto law minister to lecture civil servants when the whole episode that has arisen is due to her act of taking a picture of herself in the casino.
Don’t preach to the civil servants as though they are the ones who should be careful with their conduct and their private lives.
FairMind: Azalina, would you step into Genting casino, take a photo and post it to Instagram? You wouldn’t do it here in Malaysia where supermarket trolleys must be separated into halal and non-halal because of ‘confusion’, but I see that once you step out of Malaysia you are no longer ‘confused’.
You went to a gambling city out of your own volition, took a photo and posted it on Instagram, why blame and threaten the public servants for your own actions? Ask our religious departments or mufti who are keeping a golden silence so far whether it is wrong to take a photo in a casino in a gambling sin city?
As usual, they, who are quick to segregate supermarket trolleys, seemingly apply different versions of Islam depending on whether you are a man on the street or from BN. You wouldn’t put your goods in a non-halal supermarket trolley in Malaysia, would you put your whole self in a non-halal gambling premises in another kafir country?
Thickskin: So, if a Malaysian Muslim would like to see what a casino looks like, he/she has to go to Las Vegas in order to do so, as Muslims are not allowed to enter Genting casino. This means the poor kampong folk have no chance, while people like Azalina can do so easily.
