PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak visited the Media Prima Bhd (MBP) and New Straits Times Press (NSTP) booth at the Ekspresi Negaraku event yesterday.
He took the opportunity to see the New Straits Times (NST), Berita Harian and Harian Metro E-papers that were being promoted at the event.
He browsed through the e-papers and said, “Bagus.” (Good.)

“To attract youngsters to subscribe to the e-papers, we are giving away a lot of freebies, including Parkson shopping vouchers and free entries to a popular theme park,” he said.
Apart from the free merchandise, new subscribers will also receive a free subscription of another e-paper of their choice.
The tonton booth was a hit as actor Ashraf Muslim made a special appearance.
