WHEN pro-Umno blogger and well-known cyber trooper “Budak Sri Kinta” first started actively posting his views and opinions online, it was fuelled by a desire to challenge the heavy dominance of the opposition on social media following the 2008 general election.

  • Nay, I don’t believe you. There is no free ride in UMNO. It is not in its DNA.

  • Rather than defending the indefensible and spinning lies on the net, why don't you UMNO cyber troopers make real changes on the ground; like returning $Billions of stolen 1MDB money, reducing graduate unemployment, lessening high cost of living, etc?
    Something that voters can really feel hence consider during GE14?
    Have you thought of that?

  • Malaysian Cybertruupers are the worse bunch of people in cyberspace. They are unethical towards their works and create a tone of crap news for Malaysians. Never ever believe a single word they say.

  • "The reward is in the form of a good economic environment. When the economy is good and growing, the people will benefit.” So, did they get their reward?
