Was at the National Press Club in Malaysia to meet up with various bloggers. Quote Rockybru “Malaysia is the most blogger friendly country in the world now.” Strange world. 6 months ago, bloggers are jobless liars.

Social Media : Singapore vs Malaysia
Shel Israel did an interview with me a few weeks ago. As I was replying Shel’s email, it occurred to me there are sharp differences between the development of Social Media in Singapore and Malaysia.
