Really disturbing status update today by Pang Khee Tiek.
Go read the status!
Really surprise about it.. Every community has its goods and bads but seriously..
The LGBT community is already under fire all the time by the government, we don't need more reasons for public to shun us.
In another note, i guess the LGBT community isn't all that innocent.
With Grindr, Jack'd and many more, most people are given access to quickies anytime of the day, just buzz, meet and do it.
Lol, i know what i wana say but i'm just too tired to word it out properly..
If i make sense i make sense?
Anyways, just be careful alright?

"ADVISORY FOR USERS OF LGBT DATING APPS & WEBSITES
To fellow members of the Rainbow Community,
In the past 20 years, the internet has provided many LGBTIQ organisations and individuals with platforms to express our thoughts and identities in a relatively safe environment. One of the communities that has flourished as a result of this is Seksualiti Merdeka, where people of all sexual orientations and gender identities can come together in support of each other.
Recently, Seksualiti Merdeka has received a certain information from a trustworthy ally. According to our source, a Malaysian mainstream television company is planning to do an exposé on social networking apps (on mobile phones) and websites that cater to the LGBTIQ community, specifically those that offer personal dating services. We were informed that this TV company will be hiring people to infiltrate these apps and websites and disguise themselves as looking for dates.
Seksualiti Merdeka fears that the resulting conversations and photos between the moles and LGBTIQ individuals may be shown in a television programme that portrays LGBTIQs in a negative light. While Seksualiti Merdeka supports the right to freedom of expression, we believe that the intentions of the producers of this television exposé are negative in nature and the results may cause more harm than good.
As a result we would like to advise members of the LGBTIQ community to exercise vigilance and care when interacting with strangers online. We urge you to employ discretion and common sense practices:
· Don’t give out your vital personal information to total strangers.
· Don’t share your photos, especially ones that may compromise your identity.
· Don’t meet a person you have just met online in a secluded area.
· If the person's conversation is making you uncomfortable, seem too probing, or is pressuring you into meeting or revealing certain information, stop interacting with the person immediately.
It is not Seksualiti Merdeka’s wish to spread panic and fear throughout the community. Despite the seriousness of this matter, we advise everyone to remain calm, exercise discretion and be supportive of one another. If you have any friends who you think may be at risk of being implicated in this exposé, please pass on this advisory to them.
Please inform us if you have any concerns or additional information about this matter.
Thank you.
Be safe and stay fabulous."
