THE THINK TANKS... then our logo can be like a pyramid... that's my favourite!!! can ar? then it'll be a connection between our PR agency, with the client, with the public! WALLA!!! triple-T is gonna start working now!!! :)

Think, not Tin

Jo-an,

I'd rather be a think tank than a tin tank lo. 2T sounds nicer than 4T lo... cos like got so many significance:

1. There are 2 of us, hence the 2 in 2T.
2. 4T makes it sound like forty, like we damn auntie uncle only so ancient.
   
3. 2T can also mean 2 Ts, as in TT = Think Tanks (also Two Ts) (ooo... Teh Tarik also can!)
   
4. And of course, it's already so popular that it's on signboards and TV commercials by the Tourism Board of Malaysia. There that one where at the end they go, "2T-2T Malaysiaaa..." =P
   

Anyways, waiting for your documents about our PR plan and all. Quite good, but I didn't get to look through it yet, so still awaiting for you to email me the info. Remember ya, send to my GMAIL!! Nothing else! Not Yahoo, Not Hotmail, Not AnyOtherEmailOtherThanGmail! Fa-hem?

Of course as I said, have to fine tune a few things, but I can't wait to get things started. Though have to get all the contacts lor, expecially with the "experts" you referred to. See how larz.

Laterz!

Proposal: Disabled Unfriendly

Hey, got another idea!

What about we do on how KL is a very disabled-unfriendly city? There have been articles in the past highlighting how our walkways, public amenities, public transports, and almost everything is very very difficult to access by people who are disabled. Pathways are uneven (slanting, missing tiles, holes), too many steps, no proper ramps or elevators, toilets too cramp and narrow, too many obstructions on the pathways (lamp posts, trees), etc..

Not to sure about the people to contact though. I'm sure we can go visit the societies and all that cater to the disabled community and stuff, but dunnolar, may be a bit difficult compared to our previous proposals. See how lar.

Anyhoo... wonder if you got check our blog anot. Like no reply only. :P

Let Lecturer Know?

Yo jo-an,

Just wondering when we should tell Hardip about our blog here... Maybe after we finally chosen a topic? Or want to tell him now when we are still in proposal stage?

Any ideas??

Three Topics to Propose

Hello! I am also gracing our new blog with a post as well! =D

Anyways, hopefully our topics will be accepted by the lecturer. Some information about the 3 topics we are proposing:

1. Biodegradable bags/containers
   In Malaysia, we use plastic bags and styrofoam containers without a care in the world, not bothering about the effects they do onto the environment. They are not recyclable and they cannot naturally break down, therefore they pose a threat to the environment as their uncontrolled usage will result in more waste dumpsites. Some countries actually DO NOT provide plastic bags to customers for free, and customers either bring their own bags or they may purchase a plastic bag or a biodegradable bag for a minimal cost. As this system works very well there, why shouldn't it work here?
   
   This system would permit people to be more cautious and wise when using plastic bags and styrofoams. We see people disposing of plastic bags and styrofoams all over the place because they are of no value. If we can place value into these things, through charging cost to the consumer etc, maybe consumers will be more bothered the next time they go to the stall to purchase something they could very well carry themselves without a bag
   
   
2. Neighbourliness
   How many of us actually know the people living the closest to us? There have been many cases where accidents or crime could've been prevented in housing estates if neighbours were more watchful over their fellow dwellers. We are no longer very community-concious, and living a very hectic and busy lifestyle, we do not have the time to just get to know our neighbours well enough. They are afterall the people who are capable of taking care of your home while you are away.
   
   While there are some housing estates employing neighbourhood activities, they are very very rare and usually have a very low turnout because some people could not be bothered at all. Some people have the "tidak apa" attitude, that it doesn't concern them if it happens to other people, even if it's the person living next door. People should learn to realise and treasure their neighbours, because ultimately if there is any emergency especially in the home, they're the ones who will be able to get to your aid the quickest.
   
   
3. Carpooling
   Visiting KL during the weekdays is a nightmare. It's no different during the weekends either. Cars ply all the major roads going in, out, and about the city. During rush hour, all the expressways from townships like Petaling Jaya to even as far as Klang become so congested that even snails move faster than the cars. If people were to start carpooling, there would be less traffic on the road, and also less wastage of petrol as well as lower gas fuel emissions. Everybody wins.
   
   In some cities, for example Jakarta, Indonesia, they implement a system whereby cars may only enter the city if they have a certain number of people in the car. This is to avoid unnecessary congestion due to each individual driving a car, when 4-5 people from the same departure and arrival destinations could just carpool in one car. Corporations, especially large ones with lots of employees, could start carpooling initiatives whereby employees from a certain area can carpool to work and back. Incentives could be given to carpooling vehicles in terms of road tax redemption and even allowing them to use Bus & Taxi lanes.

That's basically the idea we currently have in mind. We have worked out some of the details on paper, based on select PR principles for creating a campaign, identifying our targets, effects, and so on.

More updates when more discussion is done. Anyhoo, hope things work out well. The other groups seem to be focusing more on drugs or sex, so hopefully we could be different and do something very "clean", reflecting our very clean and hygienic personalities. Well, mine anyways... =P

Laterz!

1st day of us...

Alright! This is the first day of our blog... Although we haven't figure out the final topic for our PR, but we are definitely gonna pull it through... Talk about changing non-biodegradable stuff such as plastic bags and styrofoam to biodegradable stuff such as paper bags and biodegradable plastics... Or should we talk about neighbourliness... Or should we talk about car pooling in organizations and companies??? We'll get more topics... I'm sure we're gonna be the best partner!!! : )
