The creative juices in the ABU Counter Propaganda Team have been flowing.
Remember the MCA spin to get the Chinese to fear voting for Pakatan by playing up the hudud and the Islamic state issue?
Well, ABU has come out with a little comic as an antidote to those MCA lies.
The PDF version, we hope, will be ready and uploaded today on the ABU website. I will alert you with another post once that PDF version has been uploaded onto the website.
Whilst we will be printing copies for distribution to areas identified, this is what I would like to ask of all of you.
As with our earlier publications, please download and print copies of the LT vs CSL comic and distribute to your Mandarin-speaking friends and relatives, especially those living in the villages and smaller towns.
For the benefit of those who do not read Mandarin who are minded to help us with the distribution of the comic, we will also upload an English version of the comic so that you will know what you are distributing.
Please also help to viral the comic through your respective facebook accounts to your network of friends with a request that they download, make copies and distribute to friends and relatives.
ABU will also need volunteers to join us in making trips out to the Chinese villages to distribute copies of the comic.
If you are game, send us an email at abuvolunteers@gmail.com.

Well done!…great way, easy and simple to reach and communicate with news starved population…especially, those living in the rural areas. Expensive and flashy projects may not have the best effect. Let’s keep it simple…the result will reflect, how penetrating and effective this way to the selected voters.

shakuntala,
I don’t think it is a hat.
Wild guess on my part but I think it is supposed to be a hairbun, bound by cloth a la Sikh-style, as in the style which the Chinese used to wear in those days. I, vaguely, recall seeing something like that in movies depicting olden-day China.

Don’t know they makes the point. I susppose to the rag-tag remains of MCA supporters – one must show wisdom. The hold-outs of people that has not moved either can be moved by anger or they can be moved by grand inspiration. Since grand inspiration even for the most well-intended in politics is almost always nonsense, that leaves anger. Meaning that it should have shock value to make the point.
Honestly better to draw a caricature of Alvin Tan in obscene position and situation and worshiping CSL or Chua Jr ‘aping’ or worst behaviour compared to Chua Sr. makes more sense. Its not classy but it works and its a dirty war…

Humor is the best medicine for the deprived and unfortunates to get the message across to them. Great idea ABU…you got my vote!
