The tourist, Emil Kaminski, had called Masidi an idiot for his statement that the tourists who had posed naked on the Mount Kinabalu had caused the earthquake, measuring 6.0 magnitude.
"#masidimanjun #Malaysia #earthquake #Mount Kinabalu Masidi Manjun, you are an idiot, not a minister of tourism," Kaminski had tweeted.
Kaminski had also posted his unhappiness over Masidi on his Facebook page, MonkeeTime, berating the minister further.

Meanwhile, Masidi, commenting on Kaminski's tweets, said this:
Last month, photos of five naked men on Mount Kinabalu surfaced on social media, drawing criticism from various quarters.
It was later reported that 10 tourists, including four women, had split from their group, towards the south peak.
They took off their clothes and posed for photographs, despite the warnings and pleadings from their mountain guide.
