Update: Total Signatures Collected: 32
A handful of Malaysian bloggers have unanimously, either directly or indirectly, declared war on the “smartest educated” plagiarist in the Malaysian blogosphere.
Chow Kahsoon, before you file the lawsuit(s), under no specific grounds whatsoever, in your local law firm against anyone, we Rojaks customers would like to counter-sue you first. Because everyday, hundreds of customers come and go to eat rojaks there. We feel that the premise is being threatened by you, and for no reason at all, you’re stepping into the wrong shop and shout, “You’re all idiots! and I will sue you all!”
On the other hand, we’ve found evidence of your plagiarized posts/works. Just ask the rojak customers and they’ll show you one by one. Obviously, you have a bad record of good-will, that’s why they’re keeping the evidence in case something happens. I guess this is it.
Take a look at Kahsoon being threatened by lawsuits for the illegal use of a personal photo on his hottestblogger website. The lady blogger, Nicole Hu, had demanded him to take down her photo or she’ll take legal actions against him.
I’m calling all female bloggers whom your pictures are featured on his website without your rightful permission, to come together and file a joint lawsuit against him. Stop him from illegally using of your personal photos on his website to generate revenues.
Girls, don’t you think you should be paid for image rights?
I’ve started a petition to take down his plagiarising websites. Go on and sign the petition against Kahsoon.com. Below are a few buttons you can display on your website. Just copy and paste the codings right onto your website and start spreading the word.

Update: Kahsoon had left PPS - for good.
Sign on the petition. I’ll publish the signatures right here once the petition ends on 31/12/2005, or once it had totalled 100 signatures, whichever comes first.
The petition will then be used to lodge complaints to his webhost/ISP on grounds of illegal use of copyright materials. Maybe we can even file a lawsuit against him if there’s a need. But looks like he has got HottestBlogger cleared of pretty girl’s pics. Nice move Kahsoon.
Malaysian bloggers, lawsuit, rojaks, petition
Interesting thing to do, although it won’t likely work, and well, it’ll give him extra publicity and traffic.
haha eliar swiftfire is quite rite, like wat i haf said. but well, tats wat i tot at first when he started tat hottestblogger thing. do those lady bloggers actually know their pics are there?
Have you seen hotmalaygirls?That’s probably him too. I wonder how many of the girls know their pictures are being flaunted like that? [Edit: link removed]
Hsin, hotmalaygirls is not one of kahsoon online empiere. [edit: link removed]
its not worth it lah..let it go man..
lol…. even got the icon too
Eliar Swiftfire: Yeah, the traffic and leads part sucks. Hopefully he doesn’t generate ad revenues from them. It doesn’t matter whether it works or not, that’s not a big issue for me. I just wanna do something to help my favorite rojak spot.
Ajay: I don’t think he even notify them about it.
Wuching: Worry not, I’ll just sit around after this post and see the petiitons come in, hopefully.
WTJ: Yeah, considering puttin’ them on your blog perhaps?

[...] Since so many people have been blogging about this already I’ll keep it short. Read here, here, here, here and here. If you believe that it’ll make a difference or if you’re just too bored, you can sign a petition over here. [...]
yeah, my guess is as good as yours, we are only giving the pain-at-the-backside more traffic. My suggestion is just use his name and not his domain. My 2cents worth
nobody should link to him in any posts about this whole feud against him. DON’T give him the hits.
wawu alex… making buttons wei.. haha. wingz’s moved to tears. i say we dun link him or talk about him lar.. tat baga needs some time alone to wash his brain clean.
Wingz: No worries la, but if eveliday you chia me eat rojaks, I’ll be happy ledi.

Jayelle: Indeed. Will do that right away.
Alex: I didn’t have a link to his sites in this post. Will remove any links on my previous post too.
“Malaysian bloggers have unanimously, either directly or indirectly, declared war on the “smartest educated” plagiarist in the Malaysian blogosphere.”
Hey you guys got really thick face larr.. a bunch of peeps declaring blog war to some fella and by that declared all Malaysian bloggers are happy with that?? Oh gosh..
Not that I agree with what kahsoon fella did very recently.. and I dislike the hottestblogger site very much… but in the end it is his business anyway, none of mine, so I don’t really care.
I believe a few will think the same way as mine, on the other hand some might actually like him for what he did, while MOST others probably don’t even know anything about kahsoon nor his existence.
So think twice before declaring “Malaysian bloggers unanimously blah blah blah” again, you all are just representing yourself and none other than yourselves.
Thanks, and enjoy your fun.
You know wat… i think… bringing back kah-soons more fun leh… What do u plan to do w the petition? ban him from pps? all the best.
Jee: Sorry, my mistake there. Corrected it right away. But erm, I am enjoying every second of it.
hyperdx: Sort of. Anything to stop him from plagiarism and suing people for nothing.
http://ka-soons.blogspot.com/2005/07/kasoon-frog.html
nah… i won’t put that in my blog.. only lower my class
Since HottestBlogger published, there are few girls mentioned there shut down their blog/website!!! What have you done Kah Soon?? You want to shut down other blogger?????
Kahsoon again did not ask permission from the person featured in his lame blog HottestBlogger, just ask
Arissa Luna herself http://www.arissaluna.moonfruit.com. She call Kahsoon “dried piece of shit”
He even put a “disclaimer” on his website, that he couldnt be sued because he put a “thumbnail size” picture.
He really got a big thumbnail lor!!
Hear ye, hear ye! I’m all against Kah soon too!
Kasoon: Not bad, a parody blog of kahsoon’s.
WTJ: No problem dude.
Brewster: That’s just too bad for her. That’s sort of her private space for god sake and KS just revealed them to the world without her consent.
Leokoo: Have you signed the petition?
hey guys……..
how do we go about doing this??
i requested many times 4 this fucker to take me off but he IGNORED me. how rude is that???
he didn’t even bother to reply after stealing my photo w/out permission and putting up my profile, ALSO w/out permission.
after threatening him further, all he did was take down my picture (but i think he put a new one up again, that FUCKER), but he still refused to reply.
i feel exploited. beauty pageants are sissified enough. how DUMB is this stupid “hottestblogger” thing??! *_*
GAWD.
You guys, he had left PPS for good.
It’s ok if they allow it though
Hello
Very interesting information! Thanks!
G’night
