1.8 million Facebook pages


1.8million Facebook page.

I know this is a pretty old news, but I have no time to share with you guys earlier in this week. Well, it's still a hot topic in Malaysia.
In case you don't know, goverment tourism department had recently reported that they spent 1.8million on developing 6 facebook pages. I repeat. FACEBOOK PAGES. Once more, FACEBOOK.
Here's the full news:

"KUALA LUMPUR: Close to RM1.8 million has been spent to create six Tourism Malaysia Facebook applications, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
Deputy Tourism Minister James Dawos Mamit said that each application cost RM293,072 to develop, or RM1,758,432 in full.
He said this in response to questions raised by DAP-Rasah MP Anthony Loke and Umno-Tangga Batu MP Idris Haji Haron, who asked why the ministry spent such a huge
amount on its social media campaign.
Mamit identified these applications as:
a) Cuti-Cuti 1Malaysia b) Citrawarna 1Malaysia c) Karnival Jualan Mega 1Malaysia and Karnival Jualan Akhir Tahun d) Festival Pelancongan Seni Kontemporari 1Malaysia e) Kempen 1Malaysia Bersih, 1Malaysia f) Fabulous Food 1Malaysia
He added that the Citrawarna 1Malaysia Facebook page attracted a total of 20,292 Facebook “likes” since its launch on May 21 this year.
Mamit said that the reason why each application cost so much was because of the tasks associated with them.
“These cover creative works, concepts and ideas, design, flash programming and coding, testing and debugging, uploading and launching of application, system server
development and maintenance, development of database from the contest, campaign management and monitoring as well as online advertisements and fan recruitment in
Facebook and Google,” the deputy minister said."

What the hell? 1.8 million? Do we need 1.8 million to run Facebook pages? A six years old boy can start a Facebook page.

Coding, testing, debugging, uploading and launching of application, system server?! You're doing all these on Facebook?!
Since when we need to learn coding to create a Facebook page? Debugging? ._.
Uploading needs money? And the most ridiculous thing, SYSTEM SERVER?
Wow, they own Facebook server. Awesome country isn't it?

They are thinking all the residents in the country are IT noobs.
Well, I am not going to say more about this, but they're spending the Malaysians money. OUR MONEY. STUPID.

Not only that, 80% of government official websites were hacked by hackers recently and most of the people believe that this is one of the main factor that causes the hackers to hack the websites. It's a big shame isn't it?

I am shame to live in this country, if I've a chance, and have no problem to migrate to other country,(no financial,family problems) I will definitely get out from this country. I bet 90% of the Malaysians will do that too.

My final words,
Spending 1.8 million on Facebook is fucking ridiculous Malaysia, you're turning the whole country into a joke.
