CL,
Welcome to the club, where the talk is cheap and cronies are cheaper.
This is not personal. This is a citizen's honestly exercising his
rights not for himself but for the common good of all. I wonder if
such a concept exist in this open source group.
I have never asked for money for my personal gain. If i did i would
have been a millionaire. You can ask our friend in east coast how we
turned down million dollar projects there due to wanton kickbacks
there which i became privy to indirectly. I stayed in my farm living
from hand to mouth for a while as long as its berkat and halal.
Then i was encouraged by MDec's call for Open Source initiative in the
country. I sent countless articles, emails, writeups not to mention
meetings in MDec's cafe and with anyone connected. I request and await
for advice which never really give a clear answer but leave many holes
in the picture. I choose my friends well and do not like to sit with
just anybody. I stick to people who are not kiasu nor taking us for a
ride.
But all the funding i am asking did not come because i did not make it
'commercially exciting' nor fill the old decadent formats. I put it as
it is. It is for the country's all of the above NKRAs shit and not for
my personal gain. I am not on trial here but the country's future.
In the end what did i get? A personal attack so stinging that people
thought i am going to take it sitting down. You have no idea who you
are dealing with here.
Malaysia must grow, the cronies must go. If Rafe cannot take the heat
then i suggest he take a boatride with Raja. Bear in mind tha MDec
collect fat salaries from our taxes and i do not. I still live on the
farm and i survive by selling overseas requests for consultancy. I am
still willing to share my little humble pie to anyone who wishes to
take this red pill.
Its time for a commission for inquiry why Malaysia is slipping in the
rankings even though we spent billions. A new facebook group anyone?

And again, this word of 'Malaysianising' is stupid, it sounds like as
long as we put some big sum of money, we can have Malaysia's flag
imprinted? So, can we enjoy the glamour to fulfill our high ego
requirement? But actually ignoring the real meaning of a software? To
benefit people and ease our tasks so we can help more people?
And about the VISTA Healthcare System Boh mentioned, it is developed
by the US's department of Veterans Affair with primary goal is to
help people, not to boost their reputation. Of course as long as you
do things with a good intention, you will have good reputation sooner
or later. And everyone from around the world is allowed and welcomed
to join the development. Look at World VISTA and other branches, no,
they are not advertised as a proud and glorified US's brand. And they
are not evil Western products!
So, do we want to develop one real useful softwares or a bunch
costly, shortly glorified, Malaysian only Malaysian brand software
that can fulfill our high requirement Malaysian egotism only for a
short while? And show the world how shallow we are?
And please, and again, do not abuse the name of FOSS, remember
openness and Free for everybody! Malaysianising sounds more like
proprietary ego shit to me! Can't we just put down everything, and
work together? As humans!!! Think about the greater good, think about
how much we can contribute to the world. Think, in neutral
standing!!! Frankly, I don't think our government is!!!
By the way, I'm a inexperience young lad who just wanted to follow
the teaching of FOSS. I know I might be wrong, but I won't be much
wrong than most of us. Helping is an addiction, sharing is caring.
Regards,
CL Chow
