The feel of teaching greedy people a lesson has filled up the slot of mandarin orange<BR/><BR/>Another famous one are the Winston cigarette boycott. Some jokers in the tobaccos company irks the Chinese on the Chinese education issue, thus the sales hit rock bottom. I remember Dunhill start picking up after the boycott.<BR/><BR/>Boycott on Nanyang Siang Pao after operasi lalang and MCA bought over has turn China Press circulation many times more than Nanyang. The boycott works because China press filled the vacuum. <BR/><BR/>So the keyword of boycott are ALTERNATIVE. The person who call for the newspaper boycott should pay attention on alternative papers, perhaps lobby the BR government to allowed alternative printed press. <BR/><BR/>I don't recall federal printing press can do anything on this if State government allow alternative press. And the newspaper man will love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-80432765440851219332008-03-21T21:09:00.000+08:002008-03-21T21:09:00.000+08:00I have heard this story about the mandarin oranges...I have heard this story about the mandarin oranges before but can anyone tell me who was the person that got the sole agency for the mandarin oranges.<BR/><BR/>i think the perception about the organiser of the rally in penang last friday was that he was of indian muslim origin. the boycott wasnt specifically against nasi kandar operators but of indian muslim bussinesses. i never received such an sms so i dont know for a fact but that was what i concluded from the disparate snippets of information that i heardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
