History
Friday Weekly was launched on the 22 February 1991 by Senior Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew (current Minister Mentor). It was published weekly every Friday. Its main target readers are secondary school students and teenagers.
On January 7, 2009, the new student paper zbCOMMA was launched. It is the revamped product of Friday Weekly. Unlike Friday Weekly, zbCOMMA is distributed to schools together with Lianhe Zaobao on Wednesdays. It consists of follow-ups on news on Lianhe Zaobao, articles written by Zaobao reporters and blurbs for Zaobao news that serve to connect students with Zaobao.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
