While I think its a good idea to show support for the project by attending the launching at One Utama, i don't think that is the campaign's objective - just to bring people together for a cameo or PR campaign so it will look good for MUW.

I think if MUW members wants to support this, please attend the programmes listed, with or without MUW T-shirts. That is TRUE support for the programme among us as DIVERS who are eco-conscious.

Would be great if MUW members can come down & support this event.

Having MUW t-shirt in the event are good too, shows that we r not just a forum base group...we exist & unite.

Lets support it & make a difference.

Scorpenesub, I wanna ask you. Do you have the MUW shirt to begin with?
I don't remember you ordered one.

When an MUW member buys an MUW shirt, he or she is supporting MUW financially. The money was used to pay costs.
It is a shame for a member with over 900 posts do not have one. Tsk Tsk Tsk!

hmm, did i say that they MUST wear MUW t-shirt somewhere between the lines? That is entirely subjected to the individual itself, what i can do is only suggest..

Quoting Sheik's words in another thread, "One cannot simply take and take"..Even a simple thing like wearing the t-shirt in public can be a form of contribution back to MUW..Eh, but wait, even you haven't gotten the MUW t-shirt..are you indirectly saying that u dont support us?

Fellas, I think you guys are getting it all wrong. Peace brothers. What I am saying is that don't just show up at the event just so the media can get MUW members in T-shirts for photo opportunity. I have no doubt MUW members are strong supporters of eco-projects, as shown by the members activities. That is fact. But we need to support IYOR whole heartedly, beyond just projecting MUW's image to the media. That is my point.

As for supporting MUW, it is not an issue. That fact that I have over 900 post shows my support, doesn't it?

And I have also supported many member sales in this forum. So Sheikh, getting MUW T-shirt is never an issue. Can I have 2, one for me and another for my wife... I think you and I about same size so I'll have whatever size you have, and perhaps a M for wifey..

BTW, can i suggest that MUW adopt an eBay approach to member sales, charge 1-3% commission for everything sold in this forum. You will raise more money than selling T-shirts.... Its a business model MUW should adopt, WIN-WIN-WIN (3W model)... Win for seller for successful sales, WIN for buyer for getting a good deal, and WIN for MUW for getting revenue.. (Pssss, can i have 0.05% commission for royalty in suggesting this 3W model?

)

Cheers everyone...
