Asia Tops The Spam List

asia-spam

News Source: NST Tech & U, February 14, 2006

In NST’s Tech & U column on 14th February, I noticed an article that caught my attention. It seems that Asia tops the list of spam sources, and I can bet that somewhere in there are a big group of Malaysian spammers.

If you notice Asia contributes 32.1% of spam, but in the individual countries list the only countries from Asia are China and South Korea, which only amounts to 8.1%. So all the other Asian countries are listed in the "Others" section. I bet this report was done by a mat salleh company who didn’t know (or care) about Malaysia, but I’m pretty sure we’re up there among the best.

Malaysia Dot Com Entrepreneur Search

I first read about it on Steven Wong’s blog – YouthMalaysia.com, together with Nuffnang and MIRC Incubator will organize “Malaysian Dot Com Youth Search” in conjunction with the 1st Malaysia Youth Entrepreneur Convention 2008 in PWTC, KL.

According to the MIRC website:

The incubation program will cover services such as office facilities, business centre, technology/engineering, market development, business development, human resources, Legal and IP and strategy development. Good and commercially viable projects can seek funding from the i2 Project or any other strategic angel investors linked to MIRC. Projects are then incubated in our incubation centre. We seek to maximum success rate by minimising business risk and accelerating the commercialization process.

Malaysian Spammers Selling Email Addresses

Don’t you ever fall for this deceiving scam – someone sends you an email, asking you if you want to buy ALL the email addresses on the Internet!

I have seen a few Malaysian spammers spamming me with an advertisement, asking if you want to join them as a spammer.

These email addresses are collected by a spider, bot or other software without the permission of the owner. If you send them emails based on this, then you’re spammin them.

It doesn’t matter if by paying RM15 you can get 1.5 million or more email addresses as well as the software to send out spam – at the end of the day it’s still spam.

It will not make you rich overnight. Instead, it can get you in a lot of trouble by being banned and blocked by email providers and ISPs. It’s to bad that Malaysian authorities are not dealing with these spammers which spoil it for the rest of us and gives Malaysia a bad name, but I do foresee more strict action against spammers in the near future.

Malaysians Are Rude, ‘Ruder’ and ‘Rudest’

This made it into my Malaysia Boleh category, a showcase of uniquely Malaysian traits and unspoken realities.

Malaysia is ranked third least courteous country in the world, according to Reader’s Digest. Yes… I know I’m not the first to report this (thanks for the info Sheila) but I’m a “reporter” type of blogger anyways. I’m more towards voicing my opinions on issues I feel strongly about :)

Reader's Digest Courtesy Scores

Malaysians are rude. I wonder why it took people so long to realize that but the truth is now out. Of course we can’t beat Mumbai, the rudest country in the world. I know – I worked for a year with people from that region when I was an exec in Telekom Malaysia. Those guys deserve the undisputed number one spot. [Read more...]
