ProdigyThe Promuda MouthpieceIssue 1, July 2002 |
|
Welcome to Prodigy! There is a mouthpiece for Promuda finally.
If it does not meet the highest standards that you have set for
yourself and others around you, we are not the least bit bothered.
But if you think that the standard can get better with you in it,
we are more than happy to let you in the front door.
The publication team is growing by the day, you just have to ask
our Managing Editor. (M.Ed.: Tsk, tsk, you don't have to be so cranky
because I wrangled this title out of you, Chief) The plan is to have one coming out every month, or at least pretend one comes out every month. Our motto, if it does not happen, lie about it happening. What does Prodigy intend to do? Tell
the masses what happens in Promuda, by covering events and announcing
upcoming events. Let it be
the place for those oh-so wonderful characters in the circle to tell
their whole story. Let them
famous Promuda position papers be revealed here. Actually we would let pretty much anything on this e-zine as long as it does not irk the Promuda Executive and the general Malaysian public. Said our piece, now say yours! Praba Ganesan Chief Editor |
PRODIGY,
THE NAME
Special Thanks must go to Syarisa for thinking up the name of this newsletter. It's a clever combination of PROmuda,DIGest, and Youth. We see copywriting possibilities for you, Syarisa! |
