"MSM went down for over 8 hours today as demonstrators gather to demand for MSM to be placed back online."

Today, many online users were stunned around the world as the famous online chat and file exchanging service, MSM Messenger, went down for over 8 hours today. The world was thrown into disarray as communications were cut off on a global scale. Businesses went to a standstill as employees could no longer discuss their work online. More than 5 million people spent 1 hour or more of precious time restarting their computer and MSM Messenger program trying to figure out what was wrong.

As the long downtime was creating a huge disrupture to millions of people, demonstrators soon gathered outside the MSM main office to demand for the server to be placed back online.

Our reporter went down to interview some of these interviewers.

A certain demonstrator who wished to be known only as Ah Beng said: "I dunno leh. maybe its cos those people at MSM want to charge people for using the MSM service. Got rumours like that spread around very long already leh. So I come here protest in case really must pay to use."

Another demonstrator who did not wished to be named offered his views: "The MSM ar, is my life leh. I everyday on MSM to chat de. Today ar, cannot login, cannot chat, my life gone liao. How can? So I must protest until MSM is back! Siam, siam. You not here to protest dun come ji siao. Pple want to protest ok?"

While our reporter was being pushed back, he noticed a confused looking demonstrator standing nearby. Curious, he decided to interview this person.
"Huh? MSM is simi? I see people come protest then I also come lor."

On the other hand, MSM spokesman Llib Setag has expressed his views on the matter on behalf of the whole MSM staff.
"Knn! Kb la! Down for a while only come here demonstrate. You all bo liao ar? Go home sleep lar!"

And we have come to the end of the news report brought to you live from our brave reporter at the MSM main office! Have a nice day!
