Perkasa to print biweekly
(The Star) – Malay rights group Perkasa has been given a publication permit to print Suara Perkasa.
Its president Datuk Ibrahim Ali said the publication may turn into a daily if the demand was great.
Thanking the Home Ministry for granting the permit to the non-governmental organisation, Ibrahim said it would kick off as a fortnightly.
“When the readership is higher, we will turn it into a weekly publication.
“When the demand grows greater, we will make it a daily,” he said yesterday.
Ibrahim said the group received the letter of approval on Wednesday.
“We have yet to decide on the launch date for the inaugural issue,” he said.
Ibrahim, who is independent Pasir Mas MP, said readers would be enlightened to facts.
Chiding certain portals for presenting “selective” facts that did not portray the real picture, Ibrahim said Suara Perkasa aimed at highlighting issues in a responsible manner.
“People are fed-up reading twisted facts,” he said.
Ibrahim also said that the NGO had started attracting new members.
“We are receiving membership application forms at a rate of about 200 a day. So far, we have received 50,000 new applications,” he said, adding that they had about 5,000 registered members.
