I woke up this morning...dazed as usual....went downstairs to grab hold of the newspapers (as I do every morning). And wham! Man....it was a different paper entirely.No.....what I mean is it was the New Straits Times....just an older version......LOL. It was 50 years old. I shit you not. A very retro looking newspaper!
Puzzled? Well, the date on the paper read Sunday, August 25, 1957.....No, I didn't go back in time.....it's just that the NST has started publishing its newspapers as it was before independence (along with the its daily copies), for the next one week in lieu of the 50 years independence celebrations.
Gosh, newspapers in those days were horrifying....the fonts were so small you'd have to use a magnifying glass. And the entire paper is black....like it has been photocopied! My mum was all smiles while browsing through the old copy. She kept saying "It's beautiful! It's beautiful!" What can I say...Veterans!
Well, quite honestly, the old NST has character....and well....NEWS! So much you could spend the entire day dwelling into it.
So, grab a copy...and get a blast from the past!
