Putrajaya schools to use NST: NST Desperate?

February 20th, 2007 marks the one month birthday of Bloggers United. It officially started from the day Sheih called for a Cyberwar to Boycott NST.

NST could be desperate now. People are not buying their newspaper and other publications. They would request their company to stop advertise on NST, Berita Harian and Harian Metro. Some go to the extent of boycotting TV3 and other affiliated channels.

How desperate they are? See this news excerpt below:

Putrajaya schools to use NST

NST School Sponsorship Programme

Schools in the federal administrative capital will be using the New Straits Times as part of their learning tool, thanks to Alliance Teamwork Marketing Sdn Bhd.

The company is sponsoring the newspaper to 13 schools under the NST School Sponsorship Programme.

The year-long sponsorship is worth RM42,640.

ATM executive chairman Danny Chua handed over the sponsorship to New Straits Times Press group editor-in-chief Datuk Hishamuddin Aun at a ceremony here yesterday.

Some believed that it could be only two things. One, its a long term corporate plan to invest in readers through a scholarship program. Two, it could be a long term plan to develop future news spinners.

Well, I hope NST has deep enough pocket to finance its future readers and spinners. Give us 6 months and we will turn them into Bloggers ... hehehe.

By the way, Rocky will be at the Denmark House court on Thursday February 22nd, 2007 for his court proceeding. AT 2:30 p.m., there will be a cake cutting to mark this joyous one month occasion.
