Jamaican minister's swimsuit picture causes controversy
December 17, 2014 — Was former Miss World and current Cabinet Minister, Lisa Hanna, wrong for posting this picture on social media? That's the big question.
A Facebook photo of Jamaica's Youth and Culture Minister (Lisa Hannah) wearing a bikini started a social media debate over the appropriateness of posting such an image online as a public figure.
Her son, Alexander Panton, reportedly took the picture after the Reggae Marathon, and the image of the politician in a yellow two piece and Bob Marley top appeared on December 6.
One Facebook user (Annette Apple Green) wrote: "The minister does not seem too acutely aware of her public persona… very nice but i think she should resist the urge to display these photos".
The Jamaica Gleaner reported that Senator Marlene Malahoo Forte said: "No need to be uncharitable to our Miss World. She is appropriately attired for the beach". However, Malahoo took to Twitter to say her quote was taken out of context.
Lisa Hanna Sets Off Social Media After Posting Photo In Beach Wear
KINGSTON, Jamaica:
The Youth and Culture Minister Lisa Hanna has been getting compliments and condemnation from social media users after posting a photograph of herself on the beach clad in swimwear.
Hanna posted the picture, captured by her son, Alexander Panton, last week after the Reggae Marathon in Westmoreland.
It shows her in a two-piece orange swimsuit and a blouse bearing an image of reggae legend, Bob Marley.
On Facebook, there have been more than 1,200 responses to the photo about which the group 'Real Change for Jamaica - Discussion Forum' has asked whether the Cabinet Minister's wearing of a bikini at a beach was "appropriate".
Among those responding was Opposition Senator Marlene Malahoo Forte.
"No need to be uncharitable to our Miss World. She is appropriately attired for the beach," said Malahoo Forte.
But Patrick Gore was unsettled: "@ Marlene Malahoo: Are you saying this picture of Minister Lisa Hanna, placed on a public page on social media, is appropriate for the office she holds?" he questioned.

A little too revealing for a lady in her position, extremely beautiful no doubt but remember, she is the minister... and should be setting an example for the young ladies to look up to her.

Minister... I hardly noticed the bikini ... what I am seeing is a woman who is in a very powerful place mentally... and more importantly .. Spiritually.

Would be nice if people paid as much attention to Lisa Hanna's policies & plans in her Ministry as what she wears, same for any other Minister
Ms. MooreTalk @mooremayhem
Jamaican government signs deals that compromise national sovereignty: No comment. Lisa Hanna posts a swimsuit pic: national emergency. Really?
Leighton @UpperKlassE
Lisa Hanna should have worn a three-piece formal suit to the beach.
