Time to move on.....trying something new

Top editors of the New Straits Times who had left at the same time as me are now almost all back at the NST, holding even more senior posts. Congratulations to all of them. I also found out that a numbers of Federal ministers' press secretaries are my former workmates in NST.

I left NSTas a news editor four years ago and went unemployed for about a year. I joined Daily Express in July 2006, on contract for a year. I was signed again for another two years and that contract is due to end this week.

The management had called me to disscuss (to sign) a new contract. After a thinking for a long time, I now decided not to renew my contract. I decided to move on to something new, one that I had never had the opportunity to do during my 30 years in journalism.

To all my friends, thank you very much indeed for all the supports, we will not be far from each others for I `once a journalist, will always be a journalist'.
