I find it funny that DAP Penang is organising something called “Buy Rocket Help Hard Core Poor” programme which makes it open for attacks from others. Its essentially a plan to get the poor people to sell DAP’s newspaper and make some profit. The paper is sold for RM2, and the seller will earn RM1 for each paper sold.
Being in a state under PR’s control, surely DAP Penang is expected to come up with a more bigger programme. Perhaps they can help the poor to start selling newspapers (and snacks/drinks/fruits) instead of just DAP’s Rocket. I understand that through the program, the poor can get to see immediate cash, but one wonders how many people will buy the Rocket.
UMNO is already sharpening its claws – branding the move as Al-Arqam style.
UPDATE: The programme has been called off due to “lack of response”.
