Plagiarism Among SAHMs

There’s a new SAHM blogger in town - Evelyn Poh!
However, it wasn’t quite a good way to introduce ourselves when I was informed by friends that my icons that I specially created for “Double Happiness” was being plagiarised.
And I was not the only victim, Mumsgather was too. She totally photocopied Mumsgather’s “Toddler’s Favourite Folder” and claimed it as her own.

Being a web designer yourself, I am sure you know how it feels like when your work and design was being copied by someone and claimed it as their own work. Not only you have committed the sin of plagiarism, you are also setting a bad example for your little one. What will you feel if your little one is caught plagiarising other kids’ work? Everyone is different and special on his/her own, but to be labeled as “copycat”, I don’t see the point of doing it. You have lost respect of others and succumbed yourself to a new low.
In the world of blogging, we share our findings, works, jokes and good stuffs. But, for courtesy or for sake, a proper citation will be better to give credits to the person who put the effort in finding and sharing his/her work. All you need to do is just write a short sentence and link it to the source, it doesn’t take more than 30 seconds to do the job.
Anyway, my icons are being copied and that means, my icons are good simply marvelous. I know, its just a cheap thrill of mine but since I am on holiday mood, spare me for my kembang-ness, can or not?
Read what Mumsgather has to say - here.
P/S : This is a hostile takeover by Jason. Jason is guest blogging for “Double Happiness” today.
I feel pressured writing for Twinsmom lah!
:s:
Twinsmom add
OK, above wrote by Jason — the guest author fo today LOL…(thanks Jason :mh2:)
this is what I say, somemore –
Eh, I thought I am away…. But bueh tahan, let me let this out first then away again.
Read this from Mumsgather’s post, shock! shock! shock! got this kind of blogger wan meh?
No, not shock on copy the icon, if you think you look like Twinsmom, fat and old, then feel free to use the icon.
But what I don’t understand is she can write well what, and web designer some more, have her own website with her name on it, ad even have her picture together with her daughter!
I printed and saved the screenshot of this lady’s particular post, because I know soon she will removes it after so many comment on how shameless she is.
And true enough, she removed the post and her main page as well.
but if anyone of you who miss it, still can read it from here –

I don’t feel so bad lar, just an icon je-mah, but being a SAHM like Mumsgather, I know it take sweat and pain to come out with a good post, but this woman just go around copy and paste! eh, what she was thinking about? set a good example for her daughter (BTW, her daughter very pretty wor), Oh, please don’t tarnish your daughter’s beauty with your shameless act.
But guess she got some sense gua, she took down her post and also the main page wor.
Can’t wait for her site to go online again… Kekez!
Oh, that one my face gah..? Yah ho…
OOI, Evelyn Poh!! Siao ha? You got like me so pretty ah? You fit to use my icons meh ??!
Walau…first there’s the plagarism, then there’s her using my face. Shame Shame..
As to your question, Twinsmom, why she does that despite being a web designer etc…frankly, after all these you still believe she did anything of her own?
Although maybe, just maybe to her credit, she only thought she wants a small space on the internet and pretend she did those things and shiok sendiri abit, but who knows got found out. If that’s the case, just say sorry will do. Maybe she never intended it for a larger audience?
I think you are taking the best possible steps - almost silent protest
anyway… I think people can judge for themselves… don’t think we really need to gather up everyone to condemn anyone… right?
I guess that’s the price to pay when you become famous gua
egghead..wait till your own blog pictures get plagarised than you try to play fair ok?
some more it’s my face leh…*grumble grumble* :etapi:actually not mine lah, it’s twinsmom old set for herself..(when she got long hair)
Twinsmom use until dun wan to use she take and use..haha..
这女人心理不平衡！
OK lar, nvm lar, she apologised liao. just lets hope this wouldn’t happen again.
wah.. like that also can?? first time I hear woh.
Come to think of it. Wah Jason, you took time to make this post wor. effort commendable. Got arrow…got red chop “certified…”
Some more have to pretend to be Twinsmom writing in first person..huishay..Jason, come write my post too please. :etgrin:
Earthtone : Cannot lah. Your English really too good and I am not up to your standard yet ler.
Somemore, you say only one. 
walao… ini macam pun boleh???!!! siao loh…
To Evelyn Poh, don’t blog if u got nothing to blog lah, why by a copycat??
Psst, Jason, since now I am in hibernation again, can u be my blog guest until I return arr?
抄襲非常不对、而且抄得太多他人私人的一点一滴而当自已的感受‧這道德观念已是零蛋！
我明白针唔到自己肉不知痛，不过一人做事一人當、in mumgather comment,,她己经道歉‧或許只道歉是不够呱！不過他女兒是單純的無罪架！我同意eggghead的想法‧
滅恕！滅恕！
個人愚見！
Walau eh..this is serious men…*Shake Head*. The little girl that sat on the oreo biscuit on her blog header belongs to *Earth Ember*.
It took her a day to sketch, draw and color in the computer. I can’t believe my eyes, Evelyn Poh just took it and make it her own. *sigh*
Hope she has learnt a great lesson by now.
Wah, next time I can “hire” Jason to write my biatch email/posts. LOL!
