Launch 'MongolBlast' app and get rich quick

YOURSAY 'Very simple. Just pay 100 iPhone guys US$0.99 each to download the game, then get them to give five-star ratings.'

Plug pulled on Rosmah-inspired 'Aku Jimat' app

your say Inspektor Klueso: Now I am going to get my Form Four nephew, who is a crackerjack gamer, to develop a game called ‘MongolBlast', which is based on getting foreigners C4ed, and with a bonus for erasing immigration records.

I bet the restless little tyke will get rich as you-know-who will pay big bucks to take it off iTunes.

Very simple. Just pay 100 iPhone guys US$0.99 each to download the game, then get them to give five-star ratings.

Then presto, a tycoon will offer the game developer money (say US$5 million?). Then split the US$5 million with the 100 guys. It's just like printing money, and you don't have to be an Umnoputra princeling.

How's that for creative wealth generation? Malaysia Boleh!

Little Han2: At US$0.99 per download, even if Apple loses one million downloads from Malaysia, it's only US$990,000!

Loose change, so it is better to remove the game than have PM's wife Rosmah Mansor breathing down your neck. This is a business decision as far as Apple Inc is concerned.

Puchong Mali: A bit of subtle pressure from the you-know-who on ‘The Fruit Company' should make the application quietly go away.

The Fruit Company still needs to sell its wares in this country, so it would not be wise to incur the wrath of you-know-who over this small app. In Bolehland, it is not a surprise that such thing happens.

Kgen: I don't think our friend has any influence over Apple. I think they just made an offer to the developer which he can't refuse.

GoneBananas: What a tragicomic existence it is to be ‘Rosjib'. The access to billions of ringgit by criminal misappropriation - wealth by stealth - can never bring one's fulfillment.

Instead, it invites ridicule and public opprobrium and inevitable condemnation to oblivion.

VP Biden: First, it was Zunar's cartoons, now an iPhone app. Why are they so afraid of cartoon characters, unless you are a cartoon yourself. Nothing better to do?

Podeh: My poor 10 grandchildren will forever lose the opportunity to ‘jimat' money the Rosmah way. What a pity and they had to cry themselves to sleep the whole of last night.

'First Lady of Shopping' reported to MACC

Changeagent: "If she is sponsored by someone for such luxurious shopping, by whom?" asked Jingga 13 chief coordinator Fariz Musa.

That is a very redundant question. Of course, she is sponsored by PM Najib Razak.

Lim Chong Leong: Changeagent, she is sponsored by 1Malaysians. That's because we eat 1Malaysia oyster sauce that has no oysters inside.

Changeagent: Lim Chong Leong, you're one good guy. But for the sake of all good commentators here, you have to stop eating 1Malaysia oyster sauce. We don't want anything bad to happen to you.

Orang_gila_malaya: Fariz, in addition to your question "by whom?", what is the agenda behind the sponsorship? The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) should look at this seriously.

I pity the sponsor (if there was one). You don't have someone better to sponsor? There's a lot of orphans in Malaysia who really need that amount of money.

Blind Freddo: Actions like this are guaranteed not to endear Pakatan Rakyat to thinking Malaysians.

Firstly, you are supposed to be demonstrating that you are capable of government, not that you are consumed with such pathetically minor details. One can't help but think you are totally out of your sphere of competence.

Secondly, even Blind Freddo's dog can understand that MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) are the lapdogs of Umno and that they will do nothing about your report. So what's the point?

Trumpet Call: What has a person's sexual preference got to do with the right to expose corruption? Whether the person is gay or not is immaterial.

Being gay is a personal choice, but exposing corruption is a public duty. The journalist from Australia is doing Malaysians a favour by exposing the scandal even to the detriment of his own future business.
