From here:

Information Minister Tifatul Sembiring — a conservative Muslim who says he makes no contact with women who are unrelated to him — admits he shook Mrs. Obama’s hand today, but adds that he was basically forced into it.

“I tried to prevent (being touched) with my hands but Mrs. Michelle held her hands too far toward me (so) we touched,” Sembiring said on his Twitter account.

Was the problem that Michelle didn’t wash after flushing or that the mere touch of her hand would send the minister into a frenzy of erotic lust? Not the latter, surely.
