Fact 4: Anthony is a hypocrite

Early in dark September 2008, Anthony wrote in his farewell post to Valued Contributors (normal Malsingmaps members cannot access this forum section so I have captured the screen as proof below):

"2. Currently, our community faces one uncertainty - whether mappers will keep sharing their maps forever. My favourite example is, "What if Antyong had sold his maps instead of passing to Sunn?". To ensure continuity, we need a community structure where maps are updated by a team of mappers with senior mappers having access to all maps. Therefore if any individual leaves, the community soldiers on. Even in the unfortunate event that we are betrayed by one of our own e.g. stealing our map source, the community can still progress."

Duh! What did Anthony do when he left Malsingmaps? Exactly what he preached NOT to do! This is a fact: Anthony Yong is a hypocrite. Princeton defines a hypocrite as a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his motives.

He took away the KL, PRK, NPM and EPM map tiles to Malfreemaps and prevented Malsingmaps further edits on these maps. I hope Malsingmaps has the guts to ignore his antics for the sake of the community. We have been deprived of a good full and updated map of Malaysia & Singapore for the past 7 months because of this hypocrite that is Anthony Yong.
