the wacky wombat weblog

Well, according to Mike Tyson anyway (read: Berita Harian in Malay). If he’s right about foreign organizations paying bloggers back home up to RM 100k per month, I’m gonna buy the first ticket back to KL and be a full-time blogger. But then again, these words came from the very person that made a police report accusing RPK of insulting the Agong and Islam in his blog.

Does Mike Tyson have any factual proof to substantiate his claims? He’s the one who’s caught in public trying to carry out millions of dollars in Australia. He should know better than to throw out such wild claims about money.

And then there were the rumours of UMNO cyber-troopers being paid in excess of RM 2k per month to create havoc in blogs. If UMNO really can pay for these cyber-troopers, why can’t bloggers get paid for their writing too? Probably because they know that they can’t pay the bloggers enough to stop writing the truth? And if both claims about all these money is involved is true, then UMNO better be able to cough up for more cyber-troopers otherwise it won’t stand a chance to fight.

In the meantime, I feel the term “Information” in the minds of our politicians is more likely a synonym to misinformation. Coz now we have the Information Minister and UMNO Information Chief being constantly misinformed.

UPDATE: Pay me the market rate of RM 100,000 a month and I will blog on whatever topics you like. My blog loyalty goes to the financial sponsor. It doesn’t matter if you’re a foreign organization, UMNO, or even an influentially-yet-misinformed minister or senator. Interested? Contact me today! Offers less than the market rate mentioned above will not be entertained.
