4 chinese restaurant operators have pointblank accused 2 writers Edmund and Jonathan, from www.malaysiabest.my of swindling them of $20,000 for a non existent best restaurant competition.
The duo had supposedly convinced the proprietors that their respective restaurants had been chosen to take part in a " Best Restaurant" competition. The money was for registration and advertising purposes.
When there was no development forthcoming and they failed to contact the duo, the four went to the MCA.
And the MCA found another 9 operators who had also suffered the same 'fate'.
The duo has denied cheating them however .
Probably they will state that this is the 'standard charges' in exchange for ' a good review'.
The claim of them being swindled is highly argumentative unless something in black and white was signed.
Chances are they will get away like most crook writers do. Highly unlikely that bluffing or misleading, will ever be made a criminal offence unless you sue them.
Such unscrupulous writers all come with a bagful of stupid excuses ranging from
- " this is entirely my own opinion" ( if that were so why are ads blinking on your site?)
- " everyone has different prefences" (yet anyone who says it is borhochiak gets censored )
- " I pay for all my meals " (but how come your reviews are looking nicer but tasting lousier?)
- " no msg " ( this category should never be given the licence to write)
- " one man's meat another man's poison" ( but how come almost everything you recommend tastes like poison?)
- " can't please everyone " ( either your tastebuds died or you just chew and swallow like a 90 year old )
What this whole episode really means is, if the food ain't good and the bloggers or reviewers wax lyrical about it or the place ,they were probably paid a bundle to tell readers beautiful lies with highly photoshopped pics to make something inedible look appetizing and desirable.
Which is what this blog is all about in the first place since I USED TO BE (no more) a reader of such notorious blogs and mainstream media postings.
These pariah writers truly deserve what's coming to them for conjuring such incredible lies , expecting to get paid for it ,with such bloated heads they fantastically begin to believe they are an adulated authority on Malaysian cuisine we all love terribly ( pumped up statistics aside), when they're really delusional greedy cheats.And that's the bottomline .
