Pinkpau’s BUMPers on OPS Kentang!
Jun 16th, 2008 by Clare
After sleepless nights and bottles of Paracetamol, I finally come up with something, well, at least I think so. Remember my previous post about the Trafford thingy?? No? Aiya, why are you so forgetful wan (like me)?! 
Neh, Mister Potato is currently running a contest and like I mentioned before, 30 of YOU who are reading this might win yourself a FREE of charge trip worth RM15,000 each to watch 22 grown men in shorts chasing after a ball live in Old Trafford.
“How?“
Snack your way there lah!
But don’t throw away the wrappers and canisters after eating Mister Potato because you need them to collect points wan:
160g canister red paper seal = 3 points
85g bag = 2 points
55g bag = 1 point
If you collect a lot, as in top 30, you can go to Manchester already. Even better if you are in the top 3 so that you have extra RM5,000 pocket money for shopping!!! 
Free trip to Manchester, summore got extra pocket money!! Who doesn’t want, you tell me! Everything FREE, I want also!!! That was why I have been tossing and turning in bed for a few nights. Like I said in the beginning of this post, I have came up with something! *rub hands together with glee*
Come and gather around, I am telling you how I am going to win ALL 30 free trip tickets to Old Trafford! This is when my team, selected by Nuffnang for Project Trafford, comes into the picture. We called ourselves B.U.M.P. (Bloggers United for Mister Potato). The good thing about my team is that everyone contributes in terms of time and effort, not forgetting the ideas, to help one another out. Our biggest challenge is how widely scattered each member is, I mean really SCATTERED!
Five of us, including Pinkpau the BUMP leader, are all so scattered around Malaysia that I don’t think any other group represents Malaysia more than we do! One of our BUMPers, Justina, is all the way across the globe in the United States of America!
The next biggest challenge we are facing is:
UH OH!!!
That is why the internet is the greatest invention of all! No BUMPers has EVER complained or whined about how far we are from each other. After days of discussions and consumptions of even more bottles of Paracetamol (me), brilliant brain cells lighted up the bulb in Justina’s head and she told us about the idea.
You see, in the United States of America, the police force is given free supplies of donuts for life! Whenever they see a policeman, the image of donuts automatically popped up in the people’s head. So it is safe to say that the police and donuts are inseparable, just like Old Trafford and football!
With that in mind, we are not only going to win ALL the 30 tickets, but also at the same time creating a totally new and one-of-it’s-kind marketing plan for Mister Potato that is going to rock the nation! The name Mister Potato will be engraved into Malaysian’s mind!
Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you our plan that is going to start a new revolution:
OPS Kentang!
We are going to propose to Mister Potato to sponsor…
(are you ready for this???)
Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM)
Throughout their entire service on the force! Give them 5 canisters and 10 packets of Mister Potato every month as a form of support and encouragement AND free publicity nationwide for Mister Potato!
Therefore, whenever Malaysians see a police officer, the image of Mister Potato automatically pops up in their head. Hence, a new slogan for Mister Potato shall be born!
“But all the sponsoring will not benefit Mister Potato in terms of return on investment! Why do you think your plan will work?” you might ask.
Of course we have thought of that! Hop over to Justina’s blog for her lengthy explanation on that! Trust me, Mister Potato will gain unimaginable benefits from this plan! 
But our job is of course not proposing only lor. We each has a major role to play, mind you! We take full advantage of one of our big challenges we are facing, which is our very scattered geographical locations, and turn it into our strength! Thus we are in charge of our designated locations to collect all the Mister Potato canisters red seals and bags from the police in return of the sponsored snacks!
And hence the name OPS Kentang!
You see, whenever the police force is on an operation, they would call it OPS-something, meaning Operasi-something, for example, OPS Sikap, OPS Hemat, etc. Now BUMP has an operation as well, and it involves the police. Let the OPS Kentang begins!!!
I am of course in charge of the state of SARAWAK!
I am going to put a bin like this
In every police stations and police quarters in the state, especially for them to dump the canister seals and empty wrappings after eating Mister Potato.
The bin is sponsored by the local councils for each household and I am positive quite a number of households here do not use it. With a little persuasion and convincing, I am sure they will let me use their bins for a couple of months (especially throughout the contest period).
And since I have the intention to travel the whole Sarawak one day, why not doing it every month? That way, I can collect the seals and bags from all the police stations and quarters when I drop by for a visit in that city/town. See, I am killing two birds with one stone! Hehehehehe!!!
If you doubt about the number of seals and wrappings we are going to collect, here’s the calculation:
Do the math, calculators don’t lie!
Well, the rest of the BUMPers are collecting the seals and wrappings in their own interesting ways. Check them out!
The organization chart for OPS Kentang:
Leader-cum-General Manager: Su Ann aka Pinkpau
Chief Operations Officer: Justina
Regional Manager (North): Ping Ping
Regional Manager (South): Bryan
Regional Manager (Sabah): Mr. Badak
Regional Manager (Sarawak): Clare
So, Manchester United die-hard fans, you think you can plan better than us to win a trip to Old Trafford???
Very creative! I like. Just make sure you’re buddy buddy with the police force in Malaysia and OPS Cantas Kenyalang (or worse) doesn’t come after me.
Thanks! If they get free stuff, they auto buddy buddy already…
[…] Badak from Kota Kinabalu in Sabah is responsible for Sabah’s collection points, and finally Clare from Sarawak has her work cut out for her because she’s in charge of the biggest state in our […]
huai bin, if this project really goes through, we’re going to be buddies with the police force for LIFE
Yay good job :))) I like that pic of you on Sarawak map. So cute! Mr. B is awesome hahaha
Yeah, Mr B did a really wonderful job!
how long do u hav to collect all those seals?? u reckons i’ll still make it if i go line up tomorrow to join PDRM??
You can try…
‘You see, in the United States of America, the police force is given free supplies of donuts for life!’
[…] had decided to come up with this awesome plan!! Heheheee… We (Pinkpau, Justina, Ping Ping, Clare, Mr Badak & ME) decided to join this contest as well… And we are planning to raid win all […]
err .. do they have a trip to stamford bridge instead or maybe the san siro?
When you are already in Manchester, you are close enough to go places
err… what the heck… ! ha ha, so, any possible chance of winning that trip yet?
Yes, if we really carry out this plan
can change the trip to the emirates?
i must stuff myself with tons of mr. potato then.. to be honest, i am a big fan of mr. potato. i don’t like pringles. i almost everytime when go shopping will get myself a canister of mr. potato 
ps: sponsor it at mamak stalls during euro of any football matches or cinemas. sure you can collect more seals than any places. people chewing on potato chips when in front of tv.. watching football, movies, porns (er.. probably not). you sponsor it to the police, when are they going to chew on those potato chips?
Hello? People like free stuff! Mister Potato is not only taken when watching football lah dude! They can munch on the chips when they are on patrol, taking a break, etc to keep them from dozing off. Note that there are not always a football match every night/day.
Huh? I tak paham lah Claire.. Doesnt make sense. Haha..
Ye ke? Its not that complicated lah Anne. And you spelt my name wrongly again. Hahaha!!!
Maybe KokoBerry can help up to sell MisterPotato and recollect all the seals for you
I suggest you to target school canteen. I used to be pengawas at school, and sometimes need to take care of Canteen, you actually can see different kinds of seals available!! The result will be more than what u expect from the police force. Imagine how many schools you have in all over Malaysia?
Oh, yes! Good idea! Use KokoBerry as well…
look lik u gonna be very busy touring around sarawak. giv me a buzz when u’re sick of it, i can do it on ur behalf ler.
Don’t care! We go together-gether. You can take care of me wan
Polis DiRaja Malaysia and Mister Potato, wahahaha… like that you also can think of, so monkey lah wei, I support u!
Tengkiu tengkiu!
i better rush to the supermarket n buy. u sure u can help us win?
Hehehhe!!! You read again…
Many police officers are like Mr. Potato!!! So fat! Mustn’t eat anymore…must go exercise (I’m not a police officer, so tak kira hor! Blush! Blush!)!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!
That’s why instead of stuffing themselves with Nasi Lemak, they can munch on Mister Potato lor
yes i think i can do better than u to win the thing.u know how?i’ll get everyone watching the euro2008 to eat a canister every night there is a match.that way i can win.on second tot,i don think that will work.hehe.:)
Note that there are not always a football match every night/day.
There are football matches every night… Hardcore fans will know haha!
haha…u sure this is practical??
Hi Clare, how is the progress of you Ops Kentang? Wishing you good luck.
Some time before, I did need to buy a building for my organization but I didn’t earn enough cash and couldn’t buy something. Thank God my dude proposed to try to get the personal loans from creditors. Thus, I acted so and used to be satisfied with my short term loan.
