I seldom read the NST some most of the time I did, I’d find it boring compared to theStar. Today I went into 7-eleven to grab theStar, but horrifyingly it was already finished. So many people read that paper huh. So, I had to grab NST instead. Took me less than an hour to finish reading it…
However, I think I’d probably be buying NST everyday from 25 Aug to 31 Aug, as they are printing and giving free the old newspapers of those dates from 1957. I think that’s a pretty cool marketing tactic. Having not yet being alive in 1957, I’d really like to get a feel of how news was written in those days, before Malaysia came to be. I might not be surprised if news was more openly and truthfully written and uncensored in those days than today, but the reprinted paper might actually be reedited, hhm, I wonder. Whatever it is, it should be quite interesting.
