A new society or grouping for Malaysian bloggers has been launched today on 24th of May ’07.
It’s called the P.A.B.S., short for the “People’s All-Blogs Society”.
Details are sketchy at the moment but it was mentioned that there will be a press release via Malaysiakini and other media outlets on further details.
Thus far, we do know this society will have TWO presidents i.e. Susan Loone and Ktemoc, who will lead the pro-tem committee set up two days ago. Presumably, there will be TWO deputy presidents as well.
They must be so excited on this move, so much so, they are willing to emulate AAB’s “Big Government” cabinet to impress interested participants from the blogging fraternity.
Oh well, I guess some people do know how to be appropriately ‘dramatic’ to stay in the limelight.
The truth is out there somewhere.

daughter of the land
how interesting that the people involved are the ones so critical of All-Blogs.
Did you say “launched”? How transparent they are. Launched in their own blogs and elected themselves as president and deputy president, although they’re a bit confused there with one saying the other is president and deputy president. Whoops…..
Did we hear about them forming another society? An alternative? To what? Oh… to All-Blogs.
No wonder they were on All-Blogs’ case. Did they accuse All-Blogs of being exclusive?
But well, as mademoiselle Susan said — the more the merrier.
She could have told Rocky to get off his high horse and give her the position. Same goes to Ktemoc, whoever he is,
Good, we have a president/deputy president who used a nick.
But, to each his own.
The Malays say ” Asal lu bahagia”.
Let’s see. Susan Loone. Interesting. Wasn;t she at the All-Blogs first gathering to elect the pro-tem committe. Wasn’t she nominated to the exco but declined.
Wasn’t she among the 60 bloggers present at the gathering to give mandate to Rocky and his pro-tem team?
Why the about-turn?
Oooh….. she’s been wanting to be leader. Yet, ktemoc and her have been hitting a Rocky for being a sel-appointed leader. That’s rich.
Rocky was elected, sista.
Now, Susan Loone… I really wish her all the best. But, I’d want to give a friendly warning to Ktemoc. She may do a number on you too, bro.
And Ktemoc, whoever you are. I wish you the best too.
People are self-righteous, aren’t they? They keep getting at Rocky for his “elegant silence”. Haha.
I thought he was pretty clear about the National Alliance of Bloggers. He has explained. But they were not listening.
Next time, please be more clear. Say-lah that YOU want Rocky NOT to be pro-tem president. Cut the crap about freedom this and that,
But, hey…. cyberspace is awesomely large for everyone.
I am thinking about setting up ana association of women bloggers. Sorry, Susan, I don’t want you.
—————————————————————————————————————————
Ouch! As they say “There’s nothing like a woman scorned…but when they start bitching..look out, guyz. So, dotl, when is the AWB being set up? I suppose guyz aren’t allowed to turn up for pro-tem committee election unless they’re hunky, chippendale-types to serve drinks, etc – shar101.

Ini kisah orang gila glamour, gila kuasa, gila talak (agaknya la, sebab perhatian ramai dah berkurangan dan idea idea tidak laku lagi!)……………
Sikit hari dulu ada bagi cadangan agar National Alliance Bloggers aka All-Blogs agar turun dan ‘bergelumang’ aka ‘kempen’ (menambahkan peluang calon PKR untuk mengharungi PRK Ijok) dalam medan politik Ijok, kerana mentang mentang dia pendukung kuat PKR, walaupun dia sikit punya kuat menafikan di”bertuan”kan mana mana fahaman politik atau personaliti.
Sebenarnya tak ramai yang tahu orang itu pernah di”kencing” parti PKN dalam PRU Mac 2004; sudah beriya iya untuk menjadi calon (sampai dah buat gambor untuk dijadikan poster) tetapi saat saat terakhir digugurkan. Permainan politik memang darah daging dan agenda dalam sistem orang ini. Memang cukup jelas!
PABS atau apa-ka-bendanya-ini sebenarnya agenda politik orang ini, yang gagal diterapkan melalui All-Blogs (yang beliau sendiri hadiri perjumpaan penubuhanya pada 5 April 2007 dan BERUCAP, menyokong usaha untuk All-Blogs ini!).
Sikap dan pengalaman beliau sebagai agen anti-establishment dalam senario politik perdana diguna dan praktikan jelas dalam usaha penubuhan PABS, yang dilihat sebagai ‘pesaing’ pembangunan All-Blogs yang masih giat diusahakan JK protem yang terdiri dari Ahirudin “Rocky” Attan, seorang wartawan MSM berpengalaman dan mantan Presiden Kelab Wartawan Kebangsaan yang berjaya, Jeff Ooi, seorang blogger ternama dan berpengalaman dan lain lain.
BUM 2007 19 Mei 2007 lepas menunjukan bagaimana hadirin (blogger diMalaysia) memberikan keyakinan agar All-Blogs diteruskan dan menjadi satu entiti yang kredibel, untuk memperjuangkan isu isu yang melibatkan bloggers dan mewakili kommuniti bloggers. BUM 2007 BUKANlah pesaing kepada All-Blogs malah ‘pemangkin’ dan ‘pelengkap’ (complementary).
Kenapa perlu ada persaingan kepada All-Blogs dalam masa getir sebegini dan sebenarnya perlu banyak kegiatan mengembeling dan menyatukan blogger diMalaysia sebagai suara yang signifikan dalam penyebaran maklumat?
Sebab: Inilah sifat manusia yang berhati tidak ikhlas dalam apa pun perbuatanya.
Siapakan yang sebenarnya agen pemecah atau dis-unity personality dalam kommuniti blogger Malaysia ini? Orang orang yang mendukung Rocky, Jeff dan All-Blogs atau orang yang merasakan diri mereka tidak popular, glamour menurun dan memberi ‘perlindungan’ kepada anasir anasir sampah dalam bloggersfera TETAPI perasan amat sangat merekalah wajar menjadi peneraju dan pencetus minda dalam menyatukan bloggers?
Memang kebenaran itu ada diluar sana dan kebenaran itu sepatutnya menyelamatkan kita semua. Tetapi kebenaran tafsiran siapa?
Tepuk dada, tanya selera! 😉

to PABS,
Ha..ha..ha What a bunch of mad attention (or rather lack of it) seekers… always bitching about everything but never had the guts to start..and now that All-Blogs ( with all good intentions to engage with ALL…all-blogs hasn’t got any opposition or agenda, cos it takes the same stand on ALL and ANY politician….being critical when necessary..and won’t give orders to anyone to go to Timbaktu to meet and show support to the “opposition” in any by-election !!
It will be hippocritical to say we want to help change laws without engaging with politicians..wouldn’t it ??? Bull shit ! How can one motion a change of law by being the “faceless” jester and be self-appointed to 2 positions(inter-changable?) by a company of 3 and NOT meet any politician ??
My…oh my what drama this court holds…!
All-Blogs is Alliance of Bloggers ..for the morons who don’t know!
I was there at the NPC (where else !) when Susan was nominated(can’t remember to what position though !) and to which she politely declined, so what’s all this shit about..?? Or is she sore it was not for the President’s post ? shheeesh… To the self-appointed Presidents of PABS if you didn’t get off of your sorry arses and do anything in the first place….just shut the fcuk up OK ? Just go and form as many parties you please !
I’m pissed with “Shit-Stirrer” Goh (at least you know what SS stands for !)
It’s the likes of him and his harbourers that pisses me off !
Period !
Shar I’m terribily sorry to intrude into your blog to voice my dissatisfaction of this incurable attention seekers…and don’t worry bro… I won’t be posting a hundred simultanuoes comments lest I make your site meter hit half a million hits like that idiot SSGoh does in some blogs !!
Cheers….and see you tonight ???
—————————————————————————————————————————
SS, during the All-Blogs pro-tem committee election on 5/4/07, Rocky deliberately delayed further proceedings until Susan turned up. During nominations for president, I nominated Jeff Ooi (who was seated right in front of me) but he promptly declined. Susan was seated not three feet away to my left at the bar counter. Drama queen, indeed – shar101.

Yo, brother! I won’t join a grouping with two presidents but am curious, did they appoint each other? But if these two Sloony and Kiamoc are loonies, that guy at The Malay Male blog is crazier. He just set up what he called the Brotherhood of Evil Bloggers, with himself as the only member! Wacko man.

Shar 101 and Lubok Melayu,
The Federation of Horny Male Dogs and Doggie-Doers on the net (aka FUCK YOU!), Malaysian Chapter (aka FUCK YOU TOO!), is fully supporting Malay Male’s Brotherhood of Evil Bloggers (aka BOB) for this effort.
My gift? Oppose Bloggers’ Effort of the Year Award, is it? No needlah. Then when you do an award ceremony, ONLY one person will attend, regardless for three hours or not. The others will prefer to attend BUM 2007 and hear Rocky talk about All-Blogs!
Shar 101,
There are two Presidents and a Drama Queen. There is also a degenerate and worm-infested brain self proclaimed “frontliner” (What the hell is a “frontliner”? Why would any blogs needs a “frontliner” for? There are millions of bloggs for the past few years, few thousand registered by the hour, NO ONE ever heard of a “frontliner” within the comments, EVER!
Stephen,
Is this person Significantly Stupid, Socially Spurned, Syphilis Scarred, Scientifically Shifted, Strongly Sedated, Sexually Stemmed or Superficially Stagnant?
Anyhow, the “protector” of such a being must her or himself be suffering from Acute Lackofattetionitis, of the stage V! That’s why they collectively behave like that.

It is a parody, a satire to taunt both ALL-BLOGS & AMBP(at least they promises to pay! lolx but again AMBP is contradictory with its ‘Freedom of Speech’ when it clearly stated its members can’t blog anything ‘subversive’.)
KTemoc is known to play extreme sarcasm(dark humour) in his blogs and Susan’s impatient with the developments at ALL-BLOGS.

STUPID….with not-yet-request-for-permission from The Malay Male.
What Big Dog, you do not kn ow the meaning of frontliner….get out of the kennel more often will ya. There are different class of frontliners. In al Queda these are the bomb-squad who have psyched themselves into martyrdom. In management circles, frontliners are those who take the shit first, sniff it, feel it, taste it, then delicately move around it and exclaim: “Luckily, I did not step on the shit.” In military lingo frontliners are those who are expendable….usually low IQ soldiers who get conscripted but have failed all assessment tests….sort of like saying: let the enemies waste their bullets on these, while we intelligent ones flank the enemies. Thats why frontliners are not the same as flankers.Stop your sniggering OBE. I have been dry for 20 hours. You hear that you ole’ sea salt, Ancient Mariner. Tomorrow night I pick you up?

I say let it be. It is a free world in cyberspace. Anybody can do what they wish. It up to the readers to discern and choose, the same we expect anybody who care to read our comments, opinions or blogs.
Just continue with what you guys are doing.
In the meantime, the government is watching with glee but its ok, that is cyberspace.

Yo DN, ZM must have been rolling around on his plush office carpet hollering “Yeah, yeah, I did that to them bloggers.

black maria
daily nibbler, that’s why i tend to agree with MIH — could Susan and Ktemoc be paid to stir shxt in cyberspace.
the way i see it, it had been them all the while trying to throw thespanner in the works.
if i am not mistaken, ktemoc had gone to politics101 last week, expressing his unhappiness about a certain blogger or rather 2 bloggers (Rocky and Jeff) being self-proclaimed leaders in blogosphere.
and complaining that there was no publicity to get non sopo bloggers to join all-blogs.
huh? rocky and jeff and many others announced it in their blogs.
and then a lot of insinuations —
now here i am making my own assessment — yes the more the merrier, as someone said. blogosphere is big enough for everyone,as another said.
ok. i a comparing rocky & jeff to ktemoc and susan…
all-blogs and pabs?

—————————————————————————————————————————
Hi Eva, luuuurve the ‘mushy-speak’. Anywayz, personally, I agree with you. The more, the merrier. I believe Rocky has said so as well in one of his reply at RB. The key factor is to read carefully and see how issues are presented by the ‘leaders’ on all sides. The choice is ours to make, just like voting or not voting at all but if you decide to choose, then choose wisely – shar101.
May 24, 2007 at 6:00 pm
Daily Nibbler
Guys, what is there to stop anyone to start another All Blogs and Pabs? And another? I think the real challenge is to reach out to your target audience and hope they respond.
In the meantime, with the GE round the corner, me thinks, with the hike in civil pay, the main task of bloggers is to stir the nation’s conscience if there still is one. We want good government, we want good parliamentarians, we want excellent, strategic planning and execution, we want better income, better pay, more civilized society, better schools, better education, better public service and the list goes on. Is that too much to ask?
How to do it? Vote with your conscience. I think we Malaysians deserve better than the c**p we have endured during the last three years – fell short of the manifesto that voted in 90% of the seats. And I hope BN sober up and respond. I hope, BA, if there is one, rises to the challenge. For the rakyat, the people.
Sorry, for the distraction folks, I had to get it off my chest – that is the main tasks at the moment; not squabbling among ourselves like little kids, the little that we could do for this country.
————————————————————————————————————————–
DN, there’s a truism in what you’re saying. Some ‘sopo’ bloggers will target the voters while others will engage the BN/BA politicians and their respective parties directly.
In the midst of these efforts, the ‘personal’ bloggers got hit for no rhyme or reason i.e. presently, the government are making sweeping statements about the blog community without explaining the diversity which exist within the blogosphere. All-Blogs are aware of this and will address the issue of freedom to speak by individuals or groups as a fundamental right ( as in promoting/protecting blogging/bloggers).
It’s a difficult task, nonetheless, because, personally, I find Malaysians are generally ‘naive’ on the purpose of Free Speech. We are still on the lower end of the learning curve but let’s move forward, shall we – shar101.

DN, actually All-Blogs is not squabbling with anybody. One group is asking for answers: the answers were loud and clear: All-Blogs will promote blogging and protect bloggers. What else do you want? aLL-bLOGS DO NOT CLAIM TO SAVE THE WORLD. No nefarious agenda to prove that there is no blogs like all-blogs. These are imaginations cooked up by little mi nds with this malady called infantile fixation. I was there when Susan rejected the nomination and some c@*t licking invertebrates say that the election was fixed. If you were not there just keep you big foot in your big mouth. Then we can have some elegant silence from whoever you are. 6 hours more to my beers. WOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

This is not good. Everyone should be patient. Communication should be improved so that there is no misunderstanding. There is a Malay saying which goes something like this: ” Bersatu Teguh, Bercerai Roboh”, the English equivalent I think is “Unity is Strength”.
All-Blogs is not even registered yet. Why don’t we all give it a chance. If there are shortcomings or suspicions talk it out in the open.
By forming another association we are weakening ourselves and lose out talented and dedicated people. I think (hopefully I am right) we all have the same agenda, are fighting the same cause – let’s talk, come to terms and give All-Blogs a chance.

i am in agreement with mob1900’s observation that the entire thing looks like a parody. susan’s call to look inside the pic in her post could be a clue. i’m not too concerned with people wanting to set up groups as they see fit. to each his or her own as every person has their own alignment and interests. but ktemoc couldn’t have made a blunder such as the 2 presidents…more like sarcasm, and seeing how many more ppl “on the other side” would jump up and down. heh!

Guys, I don’t even have a blog of my own and don’t intend to have one. I am happy depositing my coments, 2 cents worth here and there, in other words, blog hopping, if you permit me and want me to. You can say I am lowest in the rank.
Strategies? If we have the common objective of betterment of our society and country, I think you should continue to reach out to your target audience and not…(won’t use those words again). That’s it – unless someone has better ideas. Hopefully someone will read, be enriched by it and change their thinking. Given the public apathy and the low Internet penetration (despite what Zam says, 11 million Internet users, huh!) in this country, I think its a tall order. But its worth the try. Its the only space we have.
—————————————————————————————————————————–
DN, you’re doing just fine as it is. Being a commentator i.e. The debates/discussions in a bloggers’ comment section are equally important to the postings. Yes, it’s the only space we have for interactive information dissemination and intellectual discourse. In real time to boot. Precious commodity, it is and must be handled with utmost care – shar101.

And I remember, telling her “it is ok, no problem at all”.
Well, I check with friends who attended together with me, they said I was asked for a speech, which I complied, but they didnt hear anything about a nomination. Also I went upstairs for 10 mins where I spoke to a journaliist.

nuraina samad
i must have said something to that effect. Susan is probably right.
We were happy to see her at the gathering to elect the pro-tem committee of the bloggers’ alliance, and for her to be with us.
It was really a wonderful occasion.
After all she was very supportive of Rocky and Jeff. Walking with them and all that.
What I do remember telling her is that once the Alliance of Bloggers was formalised, she would surely be there.
I meant she’d certainly play an active role.
You see, we were just forming the pro-tem. She was not on the pro-tem, which was just as well because she was residing abroad and that would make it difficult for her to attend meetings. But really it was no big deal to her surely because it was after all, just the pro-tem committee. And it was just going about setting up and formalising the alliance.
one of the reasons Anonfrm Miri declined a nomination was the practicality issue, being in Miri etc.
I don’t remember, though, saying that bit about when she is in Malaysia.
I’m sorry, I might have. Just can’t remember.
Anyway, I wish her well with PABS. After all, we’re all blog sisters and brothers.
I might have some extreme misgivings about all this, perhaps I was really shocked by the vitriol and viciousness surrounding the issue. Let me take back any that I might have unwittingly submitted.

Well, I was there during the meeting thing and Susan’s name DID come up for nomination. But somebody shot it down cause she would need to attend meetings in Malaysia, flying every two weeks from Bangkok or whatever.

Sigh,
the whole alliance of bloggers thingie, and the many meets after and before that, was to bring the many bloggers together as one group.
Nuraina is right abt we all being blog brothers and sisters. There should not be any hard feelings about this.
Still, why the need for more blog groups? Its not as if our agenda is all that different. For another, All Blogs itself is still at pro-tem stage. There’s a lotta work to be done to get it moving.
I thot solidarity was the thing. Man, am I disappointed.
And I must say, Rocky and Jeff have been vilified enough, without perceived friends turning their backs.

Hi all,
The way i see it, to solve all this, let all the bloggers involve meet and discuss it maturely. Leave the commentors out. People like us just like to comments whatever we like. Not like we really care or concern what happen to the blog or if the blog owner was picked up by the black maria, i doubt any of the commentors even forntliners will jump in as well. Its your blog, your association. Where got commentors can become member of All Blog (eventhough i see some commentors term themselves as bloggers too).
No need to take seriously what i said coz i’m just a commentor expressing myself. Sorry for the bad english too.
—————————————————————————————————————————
Noname, thanks for the vote of no confidence. Hehehe. Membership issue still in the works, I think. The draft constitution too. Until these are worked out by the pro-tem committee, there’s no point talking about ‘what ifs’ situations. Never mind what you wrote, I understand what you meant – shar101

Runston, I got another one. “Truth is stranger than fiction”. Yeah, I realised it’s cliche too. But not when strange is in reference to the various unthinkably do-able stuff some people are capable of doing. More mind games, we play, shall we not – shar101.
P.S. You know who’s busy so I’m replying on her behalf. It’s my blog, bruder.

Dear Awe bloggers, esp the host here:
I am 2 years plus in Blogging but reside in Seremban, one hour’s drive from KL.
I had wanted to attend NAB’s inaugural meeting at the NPC, still the travelling was a disadvantage. I was heartened that fellow Org Com member LiTsin was there and hence formed a sort of link with temporary onbe-off bum2007 Org Com which I chaired.
I would have offered to be in the Protem Committee if I were KL or PJ-based; yes, we have to be practical if we are from “outstation” as travelling expenses are always an expensive item -p- it’s all voluntary work, hence I am always sympathetic to the two-month-old baba called All-Blogs which another matey Mob1900 explained very succinctly that it stands as acronym for the (National) ALLiance of BLOGgerS, but some Bloggers deliberately have eyees and do not wish to see and asked deflecting Qs who is Rockybru or JeffOoi to represent All Bloggers. Even a more established body like e.g. any Union of Journalists CANNOT represent all the journalists – it can speak on behalf of jhoiurnalists who signed up as membeers and paid their membership dues.
I am wary of so-called AP/APs (my term-lah) dressed in Dunhill shirt and tie coming in to spoil the B. party — Stay Vigilant.
————————————————————————————————————————–
YLC, thank you for dropping by. Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for a job well-done on the BUM ’07 gathering. Kudos to you, Howsy and the entire org com (less one). It’s face to face gatherings like this that makes the ‘on-line’ world a reality, not the other way round. Stay in cyberspace for too long and we may lose humanity’s face altogether. Stay healthy in body and mind too – shar101.

One laskopek one.. although Elviza might be write about this getting long in the…er, err…what ah?
My theory has been proven the millionth time: In OBE’s, the “comments” IS THE BLOG! Bloody hell mate, you really know how to reel us poor suckers in…
Actually, when I was a redneck furrner in a Texas college, before my reincarnation that is, my favorite choice of goldie is PABST. That’s what came to mind when I saw this posting – P.A.B.S. Only the T is missing. Think I got a problem?

err….I’ve only just got to catching up with all these postings…
I was there too…and I clearly remembered Susan being nominated.
She was in a group having their own discussions, and when her name was mentioned, she just gave a surprised look, and giving her the benefit of the doubt, (there were quite a few other groups having their own discussions whilst Rocky was summing things up). PErhaps this is why she is stating that she was not nominated.
The one thing that stood out was that from far and near, Susan being the furthest to have attended the meet, so did Anon from Miri.
This alone gives everyone an idea of how committed all these Bloggers were when this ‘meeting’ was conjured. I, was nominated when there were no other takers to the role of treasurer. If there was indeed a conspiracy to nominate, well, I will have to hand it to Rocky! This fixing sure got me fixed!
I attribute this comments flying back and fourth to the very fact that we are merely churning out words through our very own comments, which may or may not have lead us to this so called ‘debate’.
Some choose to dish out meaningless banter, or barrage of criticisms, with blind loyalty. Reason? Words…yup. I can bet you that if we ever had a face to face meeting again, things would be very much different.
To me All-Blogs=alliance of bloggers, if others feel that there is much to do, and having wished they could do more, and not jump into the alliance, fine.
Good luck to you and may you give our sleeping and foot in mouth infested powers that be, a good smack!

Hey Shar 101,
Happy First Month blogging! I think you must be the most potentially progressive bloggers in the bloggosphere today. Over ten thousand bloggers in the first month. And you did not capitalise on Rocky and Jeff Ooi or anyone else being sued to boost up your ratings!(Under the pretext of Bloggers United, BOB, BOOB, NAILS, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU TOO….)
You are a bloggospehre brand, on your own right.
Anyhow, its a joyous occasion to be marred with people who cannot live up to the truth. A few people say Susan Loone was nominated but Susan herself says she was never. So few people who attend the 5 April 2007 meet at NPC are lying or Susan in lying?
Considering that she was a political animal (and still is), she has shown he tendency to ‘modify her position’ aka lie (like she claimed to “….Susan Loone has no political master, a slave to no ideology, an admirer of no politician…..”), although she once asked All-Blogs to go down to Ijok and be part of the anti BN political process (if this isn’t politically motivated, I dunno what is!), she was once an almost a KeAdilan candidate in the GE 2004 and we all remembered her political writing from before, more likely Susan Loone is the one who is lying here compared to Tony Yew’s, Amir Hafizi’s, Zorro’s, Shanghai Stephen’s and others.
Sorry mate. But thanks for taking the garbage out!

Hey bigdog
Try posting yr comment to susan loone’s free speech zone. Betcha it wont find the light of day there.
She will say it is a “personal” attack, not an opinion not even the Truth… for she alone holds the Truth. Whatver that is…
U can rave & rant there, she says. Lol!
Guess you know who has been raving and ranting like a retard there.
What a joke!

I see a bunch of mostly people who do not have a sense of humour and do not therfore naturally understand what’s parody and satire. Reminds me of an April fool’s joke in M’siakini that made the Gomen jumped no so long ago. Also the lacking of grace to admit that they’ve been had as was yours truly. So all sorts of conspiratory theories appear as expected kneejerks..
Hani, there’re no Blogs which do no delete trashy comments ; the more parochial in interest they are, the more frequent is that need. An Awta Mira, e.g., is warned after he/she afflicted Poli101 with irrational blathers for some time. If a cafe don’t suit my taste, I’ll go to another.

I can show you examples of what thrash is all abt by copying and paste what that retard has posted at Susan’s.
But then I would be no better than him, an instigator, who writes thrash. Besides I dont want to turin this space into a stinking place by doing so.
And yes, you rite! That cafe doesnt suit my taste.

Hani,
Why should people like you bring any credibility and credence to Susan Loone’s blog? Her blog now attract flies like how shot would and a breeding site for maggots.
Susan Loone professes on a lot of principles and values but in real practice, she’s actually the opposite. Absolute bollocks! Without doubt, she’s a political animal and a failed politician wannabe, thus she behave like the politician the party she was stood up by (in the 2004 GE); Anwar Ibrahim.
Drama Queen is very much the right role for Susan Loone. Just like Anwar Ibrahim in last week’s PKR convention, played the drama but the end of the day, absolute bollocks!
What Susan Loone is doing with the Bloggers is just another drama. She failed to get what she wants from All-Blogs and typically anti-establishment anarchist like her will act up. Desi Y L Chong, who had known her since Malaysiakini, has a lot of stories about what Susan Loone are capable of manipulating NGOs for the purpose of politics, across the board or deep underground nonsenseness.
All-Blogs was anotehr NGO for Susan Loone to manipulate and exploit, for her politics. Thats why in Ijok, the soonest opportunity she could, was asking All-Blogs to get involved in the political process, simply because PKR was contesting. Very clear dark opportunistic agenda!
Whilst Shar 101 allow to say your piece, just say it here. The message goes through, the same way anyhow.

Bigdog,
Hang buka mata hang besaq-besaq sikit & baca posting aku betui-betui.
Apalah hang ni!
Niat aku bukan nak bagi credence pada blog si Susan Looney’s… oops Loone, I mean.
Aku pi sana nak tau apa yang O.B.E. dok tulih kat atai – “Breaking News. P.A.B.S. launcjed” – apa kejadah benda tu.
Aku pi sana tengok siot betui. Dah singgah situ nak jenguk2 lah sikit. Lepai tu terbaca apa “Hantubola” tulih di Free Speech Zone.
Tu saja.
Aku tengok hang tulih fasai si looney di atai…oops silap lagi, I mean Loone, tentu nyer kalau kau hantaq dia buang kat “tong sampah”.
woooooooooooooof!

“Hani: typically anti-establishment anarchist like her will act up. Desi Y L Chong, …”
Wah! Susan’s an anarchist…when is the Commie bit coming? Who is Desi and what does he stand for? A variation of high incomed, turned over, VK Chin?
Demonization is such an easy thing to do…when a effective counter cannot be found, it becomes second nature. Any fool can do it.

Lain orang lain lah selera dia. Kalau berdiri kat sini …salah. berdiri kat situ salah…berdiri kat tengah pun salah. Manalah boleh kawan?
Semua Blog saya tengok, komen sikit dah kata menghasut. Shar 101 ada dia punya pendirian, ada saya setuju ada pulak saya ragu ragu lah. Tapi tak payah main tembak saja. Betul tak.?
Lain kali kita cerita lagi.

Just read wht you posted at Susan’s. Ini bukan sampai- menyampai ke?

“Dear Susan,
I had just came back from Shar101’s blog. I don’t need to tell more but it was very disheartening to read those comments attacking you and Ktemoc in that blog. I mean why not they just comment in your blog?
This is very sad.
Why all the fake “good day to you” or “you are wondeful” kind of stuff ?
Just because you mentioned about PABS, all sorts of accusations and presumably “I know better” words start coming out. Who is the instigator?
Why the accusations? Why is the pro tem head keeping mum? Why? I believe you are on your own rights to organise another alliance. Can’t we give a positve or maybe a constructive opinion DIRECT to you. I am not siding anyone because I am just an ordinary commentor but this seems to create unwarranted disunity among you bloggers.
Looks like it is a personal attack rather then a general oipinion. What have you done that is not right to them Susan?
It is more like washing dirty linen in public kind of thing.
i don’t know if the bloggers are helping or killing each other.
Sorry Susan for my comments if it is giving you a big headache.
CIAO.”
===============================================
Am sorry also bro shar101…for taking up this space.
Dia kata dia kawan. Dia marah kerana dituduh jadi instigator.
Tapi yang dia tulih di atas tu apa?
Dia kata he is not siding any body. Konon!
Tapi tuduhi Rocky for keeping mum.
Wal hal Bro Rocky dah pun jelaskan wht aAll-Blog is all abt.
Cuma depa tak mahu dengaq.

Shar, get the minutes of the inaugural meeting of All-Blogs. I am sure who proposed, who seconded and who refused nomination were all recorded. Let’s clear this once and for all. I believe it was minuted. It had to be minuted.

blogreader
If all these comments in this blogspost represent accurately the sort of people or mentality of the protem committee of All-blogs or the association’s culture, and all this malice, spite and hate is their way of solving such a minor misunderstanding/disagreements, I sure as hell will never, ever donate to its legal fund. Neither will my friends. Such despicable actions do not deserve support, much less, protection. They simply vindicate the government’s suspicions and actions against blogs in general.
You guys give blogs a bad name.
————————————————————————————————————————–
Dear blogreader, neither Susan nor I are members of the pro-tem committee.
We have both posted on the matter of “PABS” and I’m allowing my blog to be open to all comments. Personally, I’d like to see the level of maturity when Malaysians handle the concept of Free Speech, particularly, in the blogs.
I’ve stopped adding my replies to the comments here a while back, preferring instead to allow readers to engage amongst themselves.
On the other hand, I’ve been informed that Susan did not publish some comments at http://sloone.wordpress.com/pabs-alternative-blogger-group-set-up/
particularly those that were critical towards ‘monsterball’. (You may have to enter through the front page and look for this article).
May I suggest that you read both blog-postings. It’s only fair -shar101.

Hi everyone 🙂
Please relax-lah.
We dont have to be worked up over who said “what” and “where”.
If left unchecked, this unhealthy trend can go out of hand.
Anak muda – being an “anak muda” you might be “over-reacting”, if you dont mind me saying so.
I have been to Susan Loone’s to have a look.
I find bamboo river to be a reasonable commentator although he seems to be favouring Susan.
But that’s ok. It is his right to support whoever he chooses.
So let’s all cool down. I mean no offence to anyone.
Peace. Have a nice weekend!

Folks,
I’d like to say thank you for reading this post and for those who have commented as well, terima kasih, for being courteous to one another.
I’m a big fan of the phrase “Free speech is enhanced by civility” and all of you here have proven that it can be done.
Right then, wanna try commenting about ‘Lina Joy’? It’s a little more fiesty and maybe super-sensitive for some. Or just read what others have to say.
Stay free for blogs and keep your senses within you.
Wassalam to all.
