Theory 4: Malfreemaps donations goes to a Hosting Fund to maintain their server

Those members who donated money to Malfreemaps are actually buying "shares" for Malfreemaps Incorporated. They will get their dividend when money is obtained from Licensing. This is a theory and not a fact.

This is a fact: When members were requested to donate to the Malfreemaps Hosting Fund, Anthony Yong posted on www.antyong.com (which has been conveniently taken off-line) that they would stop collection when they get enough money for 2 years hosting.

There are now more than RM10,000 in the account of Yong Chee Hoo alias Anthony Yong. Can you trust him with your money?

This is another fact: Malsingmaps, to date, has never asked her members for money.

Theory 3: Why Sunn and Dinamix (OngCC) followed Anthony to Malfreemaps

Is it because Anthony's accusations towards Malsingmaps were true that these good mappers followed him to form Malfreemaps? I don't think so. I was made to understand that these mappers were trained by Anthony himself so they had a loyalty issue to contend with. Naturally they would believe any tale fed by their teacher even if the tales were totally spun.

If this theory is true, I hope these good mappers will do the right thing for the sake of the mapping community of Malaysia and Singapore. Rejoin Malsingmaps.

Theory 2: Moles in Masmap?

Masmap appears to be helping Malsingmaps to remap KL, PRK, NPM and EPM since the departure of the mappers of these tiles to Malfreemaps. I have been led to understand that Masmap is an open source community. By virtue of being open source, I think anyone can become a mapper, including members of Malfreemaps.

Could Malfreemaps have planted a mole in Masmap to deliberately copy data from Malfreemaps then "accuse" Malsingmaps of copyright infringement? This could also have been done to derail Masmap's relationship with Malsingmaps.

This is just a theory and not a fact.

Theory 1: Is Anthony hard up for money?

Anthony is involved a lot with the stock market. He is reputed to have over half a million riggit in his war chest according to his blog. A person with that kind of money doesn't need to work at m3tech.com but he has started to work there since 2008, the same year he formed his rebel mapping community, malfreemaps.com. Why?

Could it have something to do with the current economic recession that is affecting the whole world? I don't know. If it is true then he has done the utmost dishonor by splitting up the mapping community in Malaysia and Singapore by forming malfreemaps.com under the pretext of protecting the community, when in fact he had to supply map data to his employer, m3tech.com. I certainly hope that Anthony is not hard up for money.

This is a theory and not a fact.
