In Respond to my Article "Rots Amoungst Sour Grapes"

In responds to my Article Rots amongst sour grapes I have received hundreds of emails pertaining to the campaign which intend to smear the name of bloggers and their products. It is beyond the criticism of their articles or products. Their objective is to make sure these few pre-selected bloggers will diminish from the Net. Do they have the ability to do so?

.

Let’s have an insight of what has actually transpired this.

.

Swiftlet Farming blog in Malaysia was started by Harry way back in 2007. There is not much information about Swiftlet Farming on the net as it is today. Those behind the smearing campaign probably never heard about Swiftlet farming at that time. It is not easy to find information, picture of farms, its internal, the equipments use in farm, DIY techniques, etc.

.

Blog has totally changed the traditional way of how Swiftlet farming information was disseminated. Ever since the existence of S.F blogs, many were no longer reliant on seniors or so called Sifus who acquired experiences through trail and error or neighboring country consultants. And most of the time any information given by them is at a cost. It could be in ten of thousands.

.

Never did the bloggers themselves realized that over the years they had taught and helped so many newbies and exposed so much about this Multi-Millions S.F industry. Many conservative guys out there are against this free of charge information concept on the net. To them it will be threat to their reputations and businesses. The more newbies know the harder for them to do business. It was a typical conservative thinking “more man less share. Less man more shares”. They worried that their rice bowls will be gone in no time. Seminars can no longer pull in large crowd like before. Their products move slow as many newbies know where to source for it.

.

I am sorry to say that we can not avoid or deny the IT world. My sincere apology.

.

Forums started before swiftlet blog (Started by the respectable: SeeSeng). It was with the sincere intention of helping each other to understand more about swiflet farming (DIY) it was never created for the purpose of discrediting and criticizing others systematically for business and personal gain as it is now. Definitely when it first started all these bunch of shit stirrer weren’t there. I suppose at that time they knew nothing about IT.

.

With the lead of just one blog (Harry) then came Tirok’s blog, Wosf, then my blog followed by CheeWooi’s blog. Of course later they were many new blogs mushrooming which I strongly support.

.

We are the new generation applying science to farming, doing our own researches, improvise things and machines for farming purposes and changing the traditional ways of construction of farms. All of us have sacrificed so much so that all newbies could just get the free information through just one easy click on their computers without having to beg for it as in the traditional way. This had offended many.

.

What have we done to deserve all these hatreds, condemns and batch mouths? Is providing S.F information for free is an offence? Some bloggers who couldn’t tolerate the abuse had stop writing while some decided not to update their blogs. You see what these groups had done. (Malaysia Boleh)

.

As time goes by we can not avoid popularity. Harry’s blog hits 200k in less than 2 years. CheeWooi and mine hit 64k in less than a year. Some neighboring countries S.F blog that had started many years before us were left behind. This is where the jealousy and envy comes in. They can’t accept the reality. Imagine the huge amount reader’s base following our blogs daily. To disseminate information about S.farming was never as easy as it is now. But we all never abused it to criticize, sabotage or bath mouth others like those in Ly and Cari.

.

If we choose to follow what they did or even play dirtier we could with such big readers base behind us all we need to do is just post those jokers’ photos, their criticism and emails received from our readers in all our blogs also including those blogs that our close friends involve like Stock market, Property Development, Charity foundation, construction, Plantation, Resident community, etc there would be hundred of thousand people will recognize them. (We don't intend to this unless we are being forced to do so).

.

They don’t have the ethic of writing they are only good at sabotaging. Most of those who criticized and sabotaged the bloggers do not own blog themselves. They only come in once a while into the forum later there are gone when they had achieved there objectives. While we bloggers have been here since the start and shall be here for very long if God permits.

.

It is sad to see that some seniors had been blindly leaded and influenced by them. I guess it is enough for now as I want to concentrate and spend my time in providing info and good products to the S.F industry.

.

Below are fractions of hundreds emails I received in respond to the above article. My apology, I do not wish to post all here. Some emails are very harsh that bashed back the bashers, pin-point with names. which I do not wish to post it. (unless I'm being force to do it).

Hi James

.

I think I know who the sour grapes are. They have nothing better to do in life. What goes around comes around.

我知道您说的是谁, 很难相象这班人在社会有贡献。应该如 “过街老鼠” 看到就要打。唱人是最下等的。
