[wendychan]

just got the note to go collect the paper phone books.... anyone know how to opt out forever and never ever receive a notice to collect phone books anymore? then maybe they can print less? i for one haven't used a paper phone book for over 10 years

Just like The Straits Times they are generated for to keep their cronies in business.

in the notice, it says they are going freen, bring your own bags... what a laugh... they should just let people opt out and then print and use a lot less paper

Of course, opt out lah. What if someone call you up for fun ? In fact, in other countries, your home addresses and other particular is considered confidential. But, in this FASCIST cuntry, our NRICs have so much information including your DoBs and blood types is circulating all over the island. Living in this Saddam Lee's state you really feel naked wor.

The funny thing about the NRIC part, even the evil govt approved of these loan sharks operations by blaming the peasants for using NRICs to borrow cash. And they didn't even blame the loan sharks. Disgusting !

info on the web and apps on smartphones are killing this business. the writing is on the wall. there are still old school customers who would rely on phone books for referals. for example, while in sg, i was able to find only a few cab companies with their numbers in the local yellow pages. obviously, these cab companies would get the bulk of business from visitors who had to rely on phone books for calling numbers. it's not a huge market, but it's niche, ensuring streams of revenue, albeit enough to continue to advertise on recycled paper.

They have employed a re-cycled ministar who now include "Duck tours" in addition to phone book!. I have opted out of land lines for years, I have not collected phone books for ages, didn't the have a choice in their collection slip for a CD? I did opted for the CD but then it was running on Windows 95 or something, it was damn crappy software, so I opted back for the printed version. But do we need the CD or the printed copies nowadays? where you can search for example, " Tua Kang Tow" contacts by google, or "tian , tian bu lai eating house..??

They still have phone book collection?? bring your own bags...get another book free..!!

If anyone read or notices that the "poodles" are just catching the "ikan bilis" loan sharks RUNNERS. So far, we have not heard or noticed they have nabbed the "Big SHARK", the REAL LOAN SHARK , the real thing...are the "poodles" in awe of them or are they "kawan-ku"??

There is also the online Yellow Pages.

In the pre-internet days, the yellow pages under Social Escorts section in the yellow pages always fascinated me, spent lots of time analyzing those pages.

You can still find the social escorts classifieds on the TNP.

Speaking of Duck Tours, they were to start the new river taxi service in January 2013 but there has been silence in marketing terms.

It was all a quack then?
