King Tuah, Your Majesty...People come people go.... give him little time and he'll starts to itch again for Mapper's job... Than Anty and Uncle will be back....

Let's hope they'll come back. In the meantime, I MOGOK by not giving anymore tracks & POIs until they change back their nick color, it's a very irritating color!!

Abang Tuah, I support you in MOGOK...... but do you think Bro Antyong is doing a "Steve Jobs" on us here

[sobamy]

1st step is very important, trust me, once u get started, u will continue to contribute, and contribute, and contribute...

You will then enjoy like others....

my 2cents...

You ae right Bro ccwong - contribute, and contribute, and contribute... it's like an "addiction" to me.

I think that we should not "mogok". If we do, our "enemies" from within and without will be laughing their **** out - and that's what they want to do to MFM and will be tapping their shoulders for a job well done by them.

Instead, we should now unite and work doubly hard in our contributions, so much so, that our retired "Generals" will be proud of us that they may consider "un-retiring" themselves and jump back into the fold. This will show our "enemies" from within and without that we mean business.

Although they may have "downed" our "Generals" but our "Generals" are not out yet. Just remember that "A single chopstick can be broken but a bundle of chopsticks cannot be broken"

So let's stand united and back our new leaders to continue leading MFM to greater success

On behalf of Edchuang.

Hi All MFM valued members:
I am shocked to see my retirement had became a major discussion topic in MFM. I think I've owed you all an explanation why I've decided to retired to prevent all the speculations that could do major damaged to MFM.

As some of my closed friends knew, I've been alway be supportive to Papago Map. Why? Because I was overwelmed when we started papago map. For me, we are using a third party compiler for Garmin map, there is a risk in future that Garmin could keep updating their firmware, and one day, our 3rd party compiler won't be able to produce Garmin map....as we what we've seen in Garmin Nuvi 1K+ series....our customized POI can't be displayed.

So when papago came in, I was greatly involved in the routing errors feedback, improvement feedback, and subsiquently drawings JV for papago.

My personal thinking all the while:

1. MFM is a mapping community, we stay neutral and don't involved in any outside business related conflicts.
2. We want to produce as many maps format as possible, so that our community can grow and more members are benefited from free maps, in return, we get feedbacks and contributions, that make our maps to improved day by day.
3. Who ever give us their compiler, we will try to compile their map format, to benefit more users.

I think the issue started when M3 acquired the exclusive right to Papago GPS devices. For me, it had nothing to do with us, we should just continue to release our papago maps. We shouldn't get involved in outside business related issues. To make thing worst, later on Falome came in. There are some parties tried to link them together, and tried to complicate Papago and Falome. For me, I don't care. We can produce Papago Map, we can produce Falome Map. It is not for us to comment.

Things had became worst when some senior in MFM decided not to release papago map anymore. For me, this is totally unacceptable and unfaired to our papago gps users, where the population is growings. So I made up my mind and decided to leave.

I want to make it clear that my retirement got nothing to do with jararaca, shairul787 or antyong. It is just my personal will. So please do not involved my nick in any of your post to achieve your personal agenda.

And to all members, while our new Leaders, Bro OngCC and Bro Sunn try to settle the current issue, please stop all your speculations. Please have faith in Bro OngCC, Bro Sunn, Mappers and Moderators.

Best Regards to All.

Sincerely Yours,

Edchuang

200% Agree with Bro Edchuang

[Inggo]

Bro Antyong used to tell "nobody is leaving" but now he's leaving, so how to enjoy Somebody have to pujuk them. We can only enjoy when we have friends around, otherwise syok sendiri.

I agree with Tuah, We hope bro Antyong come back

I know how to pujuk Boss and how to pujuk Bro Ed..
1. For Boss: We starting to Create our own GPS Navigation software not only maps..
2. For BroEd: We continuous the Papago map and also Falome map (if get compiler) for everyone..
then we will continue the project..
