I read a news article online that one girl in Penang actually bought 200 pieces of same The Star Newspaper on the first day and collected 80,000 points! I think i will not do this..
I guess the idea now is, read The Star more and ask your friend to read The Star to get a S-II or Apple!
I want a Samsung Galaxy s II, how about you?

  1. Hi,i just feel that buying dose paper in bulk is a lil waste, rather than collecting from friends and relatives etc.its an effort than money.by the time u buy dose paper(unless bidding4 the car),u can actually buy that item(eg:s2 or ps3).i mean do some calculation,its jz like making the rich richer and poor poorer.i had news that my friend workplace supervisor bought 1k every time 500point outs.

  2. Hi @the daMneD, ya, in a way, you're right. But..if those who bought 1k of the newspaper can distribute to those who really need it, especially students, it will be a meaningful one, isn't it?
