I challenge Malay Mail to make a police report against me. I was told there are already more than ten police reports piled up against me, not to mention two warrants of arrest and one Internal Security Act detention order. So what is one more police report? By the way, the police know where I am. I am not in hiding and have been in contact with many people, top Umno people included.

Thief! Thief!

Malaysia Today stole a Malay Mail scoop. We've been working on the story for days. It's what journalists called a "Scoop" or "an Exclusive". This one by Frankie d'Cruz and Kharleez Zubin on the confession of an election rigger we've saved for today's front page because it's a damn good scoop. The people at Malaysia Today seem to think so, too.

Imagine our shock when at 1.52am, which is way before our press time, our scoop was already up on Malaysia Today! (See: http://mt.m2day.org/2008/content/view/26547/84/ )

The Malay Mail usually updates its website around noon (about the same time the print edition goes out to the streets) but today I told our IT people we might as well upload the stories earlier. After all, the Malaysia Today has scooped our scoop!

Our lawyers say this is THEFT, so we're obliged to report it in the morning.

Malay Mail exclusive hijacked

Malay Mail

Monday, September 7th, 2009 04:17:00

OUR exclusive on how former MIC strongman Datuk V. Govindaraj “stole” 30 votes meant for Datuk S. Subramaniam in the 1977 party polls was ironically stolen by online portal Malaysia Today even before Malay Mail had gone to print or had uploaded the story on its website. The story was uploaded on Malaysia Today at 1.52am.

Investigations are under way to ascertain how the story was hijacked.

http://www.mmail.com.my/content/12537-malay-mail-exclusive-hijacked

*************************************************

Actually, they uploaded the article at 1.05am while Malaysia Today -- as even Malay Mail admits -- uploaded it at 1.52am. See the link of the article on Malay Mail’s website here: http://www.mmail.com.my/content/12492-dark-secret-revealed

So what is the big issue? It was already in the public domain BEFORE we ‘stole’ it. Malay Mail did not upload the article AFTER we ‘stole’ it, as they claim.

RockyBru, my 6 years old brother say that not knowing which one is earlier, 1.05 or 1.52 a.m is DUMB. I suggest you go and make police report for that one as well.

Aiyo cocky brut, you can count your lucky stars MT even bothered to upload the MM article in their website. I can bet you there are millions more readers in MT than the MM street copies or the MM website. Nobody buys or read the MM anymore lah. I think MT should charge MM for advertising fees.

Gosh! Why is our master spinner so particular about timing now? Was it not Rocky Bru who 'alerted' the public on the existence of the Truth4BengHock blog before the controversial postings were actually posted on the said blog. And the next day, all the MSM reported on the existence of such a blog even unprcedentedly providing the url link as well.

Rocky Berudu,

I think you had better resign with immediate effect. Whatever it is, it shows you are highly incompetence.

Nobody buys Malay Mail anymore, by the time it hit the streets, the news has become stale. We have read it all in Malaysia Today.

Besides, unlike the Malay Mail, MT is interactive; we can spill our hearts out and at times we got the response from the MT staff itself on immediate basis. Malay Mail can't do that, it is just like the other UMNO's spin media; one way communication being forced down the consumer's throat, or asses, whatever!
On top of that MT is free. Why should we pay money to support UMNO's spin media.

I sympathize with you Rocky for being a mahout for UMNO’s white elephant spin media!

What do you do as an editor when you are not sure how your political masters will react when you write a story about vote-stealing? Why, do an intentional leak, and then cry father cry mother and accuse RPK of stealing the story. That done, you can publish the story in peace, since it is already out.

Slimy, sneaky and cowardly...

1:05am (MM) vs. 1:52 am (MT).

See? This is what happens when you associate yourself with UMNO and the Mahathir faction of the blogosphere: You become brain-damaged.

On the slim chance that Cockybro's brain hasn't corroded into the equivalent of liquefied swine droppings, he is probably eager to lick Najib's boots in trying to nail RPK so the NST suit will be dropped.

MM lawyers are idiots. They should know that if a report is not published it is not a scoop. Nor does the report belong to the author. So MT did not steal the report. If the author had copyrighted the report, then there is the extreme possibility of calling the report 'stolen' and be sued. As it is the scoop belongs to MT.
Thank you MT and RPK.

What's so dark about the secrets of MIC Rocky Bru?

MIC has so many dark secrets that this latest one so-called exclusively uncovered by MM don't excite us one bit. Maybe you wanna bet before Kingdom Come comes something fruitful will come out of it?

MM's reporting on the matter is an exercise in futility, Rocky Bru. In fact MM can uncover as many they like from the MIC for all we care, we would still be yawning.

I'll tell you what will be a scoop or exclusive by our definition, Rocky Bru. Who ask the MM to do this uncovering, huh?

Our minds are already made up; our aspirations are tangential to yours. We know what to do next. MM should have known better to gauge the mood of your propective readers. You and your MM are really out of touch. Wake up!
