You know, Malaysia is really an interesting place. I would missed out so much live drama if i weren’t born a Malaysian. Not too long ago, Malaysians were quoted as people with most friends on Facebook. You people from the other ends of the world think we have no life?

We have been reminded from time to time that we need to be careful on what we say and” think before you say” soon became “think before you tweet“. The #DeFahmi issue happened and it actually took half a year for this whole thing to get big. So big that there are 293 news articles posted worldwide giving free publicity to Malaysia, Blu Inc & Fahmi Fadzil at this time 1.52AM GMT+8
Gizmodo, TIME, HuffingtonPost, Toronto Sun, Herald Sun, The Express Tribune, Forbes, CBS News, CNBC, The Telegraph, Guardian, Irish Times, The Next Web are just part of the sites which covered it.

Reminds me of Primary School Times. Ahhh.
