ROQUE : The story of The Malaysian Twitter War Animal

ON twitter, the boast is that the war animals had delivered the election victory to Pakatan Harapan in GE15.

THE pro Pakatan Harapan war animals, some financed by Pakatan Harapan themselves, unofficially of course, were actually preaching only to the converted, with almost ZERO little influence on the mostly Malay majority Twitter user base. VIEW : PAS led Trengganu, Kelantan, Perlis and Kedah have the highest number of Twitter users in Malaysia.

THIS small dose of factuality, didnt stop the ROQUE bunch from brunching out as a gun for hire to corporations and individual  businessmen to take down rivals, using the corruption fighter mask pretense.

THEIR first known victim was Hydroshoppe Sdn Bhd, who won the KL Tower concession during Perikatan Nasional rule. READ : TM distances itself from KL Tower controversy

MANY wrongly pinned the entire Hydroshoppe KL Tower lease,  PR OPERATIONS ON TWITTER  as the brainchild of  the newly minted communicatios minister Fahmi Fadzli as part of Anwar Ibrahim's pledge to fight corruption.

YES, the PM wants to kill corruption, but he also had promised not to go on a witch hunt that could destabilise the economy and livelihood of wage earners. 

THE entire exercise to get Hydroshoppe Sdn Bhd kicked out  as the concession owner, was financed by a personality with business interest in the tower, who used to work directly under Najib Razak.

HE now roams Kuala Lumpur, under the guise of a business owner, with a penchant for finaning sporting activities, specifically in Canoeing , Football and Hockey.

THE  ROQUE war animals on Twitter became heroes because Hydroshoppe had indeed a past to hide, but they actually failed to meet their paymaster's objective,to have hiw company to take over the concession.

WHO are this ROQUE twitter warriors ?  THE team consist of a failed 69 year old politician, who decades ago was picked by Lim Kit Siang himself to be one of the future cornerstones of the party,  a former outsourced motoring journalist with the New Straits Times, and a former PR practicioner from the motoring industry, who has self proclaimed himself to be an independent financial journalist.

AND why are these ROQUE warriors about to be placed under a very intense microscope  ?  Apparently,  they have recently picked up  a new assignment, but this time the lines are a bit murkier. 

TO achieve their intended goal, they will have to throw some shit on the choices made by a China based company , that Anwar Ibrahim has been wooing relentlessly. READ : Meet Ma Huateng: The Man Who Owns Facebook, WhatsApp Of China
