New Straits Times Quoted My Words
Filed in: Malaysia, Site News, Weblog — June 17th, 2005
Read vincent’s “in the news..again!” and found that I am indirectly in the news too. News Strait Times(to be exact, Chow Kum Hor) quoted my words in his/her article - Blogging adds touch of spice to cyberspace. No credit given though…
It quotes:
“See, mom! Blogging is a JOB, not a hobby,” a blogger posted.
The sentence is original posted at Malaysia Company Hire Blogger. The “blogger” mentioned is me, Liew Cheon Fong. *ahem*
I am not sure about News Strait Times publishing policy, but I think it is important to state the source where you quote the words. Put a link to the site or put the person’s name.
Frankly, I am not quite happy about it. 
Anyway, there are few big blogger names(like Aizuddin Danian, Peter Tan, etc) mentioned in the article.
Well, hopefully next time my name will be published along with my words(in broken english). Else, don’t quote it!

You are right LCF! I think they should either put a link and your name beside the quote. I dun see any thanks to you in the website as well. Bad bad NST. hehe

I can understand your feeling, Vincent and Jimmy.
Thank you, ahkiong and wiredpod.
Colbert, the article is not focus on Malaysian tech bloggers.
