This year’s “Bloggers’ Event of The Year” will take flight on Saturday May 22; yes, again at the Lake View Club, Subang Jaya, now quite a homey nest to Socio-political (SoPo) Bloggers, B2B (4bloggers-to-be) and also, Blog interactors. All are welcome to take flight with a pride of Speakers who have made a mark on the Malaysian landscape, so here’s your chance to meet them in person! Of course, if you have been thinking all along Rockybru is a long-haired bandboy from Bangsar, you are going to be surprised he’s now Datuk Ahirudin Attan, first a Blogger, then an MSM editor, or vice versa; and the bigger surprise that Desiderata is not a sweet-young-thing, but a writHer from Jurassick Park!
BUM stands for Bloggers Universe Malaysia (BUM). BUM2010 is the fourth in a series of annual gatherings of Malaysian bloggers and bloggers-to-be, and is being organized by a group of mainly Socio-political (SoPo) Bloggers in their individual capacities in association with the Protem Committee of the National Alliance of Bloggers (All-Blogs), and the Centre for Policy Initiatives (cpiasia.net).
