This is an old news which I have been unable to verify. For non-Malaysian readers, the short of the new is: UMNO have spent RM300 million public funds to hire 300 hackers from Chennai, India, in order to monitor information and news from pro-Pakatan Rakyat bloggers. Sources said that the hackers are paid up to RM100,000 per month, with accommodation and free car each. They have expertise in computer and web hacking, their job is classified as 'top secret' and is under the direct supervision of the Prime Minister's department. They are hired to hack (and destroy?) computer systems belonging to Pakatan Rakyat at the next general election.

Well, this all sounds sensationalist and propagandist - up to you to decide whether there's any truth to the allegations. And don't ask my opinions as I don't have any.

Here's the full news at the Suara Keadilan website: RM300 Juta Upah Penggodam Halang PR Dalam PRU-13

Hahaha... korang pecaye ke berita ni? 300 hackers from India for what? Buat ape la nak hire hackers kalau ada "system" yang boleh buat semuanya..

This news is bullshit man... We don't need any "hackers" to monitor information... Have they forgot about Google Reader or Google Alerts?

Do you really believe that the G will spend about RM300 million on behalf of UMNO to do these task? And do you think the Prime Minister's Department will act on behalf of UMNO?

You're wrong my friend, you're wrong... By hiring the 300 hacker from Chennai, better for them to hire more IT personnel into the Gov. itself.

My last word... BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!!

Dzulkarnain Taib, Dzulkarnain Taib, Dzulkarnain Taib ... How naive & ignorance you're.

There are two things I want to say to you.

1. You're bad example to Keadilan. I'm not saying this because I'm from UMNO, in fact, I don't like them.
2. Moron, moron, moron
