Two weeks 'bonus' for Malaysiakini subscribers

Ferdtan: The cyber DOS attack on Malaysiakini shows how much influence it had on Malaysian politics.

Malaysiakini , you are on the right track - we shall never let you down. You are our heart - as if you are part of us. I've done my small part and hope that each one of the million readers can donate a bit to ensure Malaysiakini would not be interrupted again - especially with the looming general election.

Malaysiawatch4.blogspot: Thanks for a job well done. I suggest all subscribers to recommend a friend to subscribe to Malaysiakini so that the base is enlarged. Keep up the national service to help Malaysia navigate through the long dark tunnel.

Ablastine: The fact that only Malaysiakini is attacked is an open admission that it is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

However, please do understand that this will occur again in the next general election or even an important by-election. So be better prepared. Malaysiakini is destined to surpass the readership of any major newspaper in the country and it is possibly a great favourite amongst Malaysians not residing in the country.

Patriot: Malaysiakini team, to recover so fast from a major disaster is truly commendable. Despite of the handicap of not having a full-running system, you were still been able to come up with and keep us informed about the progress of the state elections in Sarawak.

You have proved to be in the forefront of independent and professional news reporting and the results speak for itself - that was why Malaysiakini was targeted and not the other independent sources.

Please continue to give us the opportunity to express our thoughts, concerns and fears of a country we all love so much. Sadly, today in most countries, money politics rules in the disguise of democracy.

Anonymous_3de1: Personally, I didn't mind the inconvenience which was beyond Malaysiakini's control and do not look forward to the two-week extension to my subscription. It was a desperate attempt by a desperate regime to shut out the dissemination of truth.

You can count on my continued support and subscription come what may. Keep it up and send my regards to the Malaysiakini technical team for their hard work in keeping the website up and running.

Cala: Malaysiakini CEO Premesh Chandran, you have my vote. Do what is deemed best.

Given that Malaysiakini is no ordinary media that reports professionally, is it not obvious that you deserve our support?

Just take the case of the mammoth turnout by Sarawakians for the rallies organised by Pakatan Rakyat in major towns on the eve of voting, see how mainstream media play them down?

Ksn: Malaysiakini , not to worry. With all the precautions, this sort of things can happen even with the best and most up-to-date technology. It was nothing but sabotage by the good-for-nothings. I do not think any subscriber will blame you.

Keep doing what you have done all this while.

Chinese 'repaid milk with poison': S'wak Perkasa

Blogsmith: So they want Malaysians to continue to vote for Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud and his coterie who have been accused of milking and robbing the natives? They want us to support corruption and abuse of power? What would their Holy Book say?

Anonymous: As long as we vote out of our free will, not bribed, not threatened, not misinformed, it's our absolute right to vote however we choose. Who are you to 'sibuk'?

Anonymous_3de1: May I suggest that you also take away the citizenship of the non-bumiputera and reject the taxes paid by them at the same time.

To these cretins, they think that BN has the right to divine and perpetual rule. Their bigotry has blinded them to the existence of the rightful place for His Majesty's Opposition to co-exist in a democracy.

Your list of demands are already being practised, hence the anger of the non-bumi in the previous GE and the latest Sarawak election.

AKUCINA: The Chinese did not repay milk with poison. They are trying to make Malaysia a better place for you and me.

Rayfire: Perkasa, enough of your 1Crap. Chinese are not the only ones who voted for change. Others did too. If BN was so clean and did their service diligently, there is no need for all the last-minute bribing.

Sedarlah diri, jangan cuba menyalahkan orang lain tanpa sebab. Yang bermasalah ialah pemimpin yang dengan secara terbuka mengamalkan rasuah dan menyalahgunakan kuasa. Taib mampu datang mengundi guna Rolls Royce. Bayangkan keangkuhannya.
