Yesterday evening I received an sms from Kuala Lumpur-based blogger Pahit Manis saying that he had just landed in Kota Kinabalu and would be calling me today.
This blogger, I had known for more then 30 years as he was my boss while I was working for the New Straits Times.
I was with NST in the time of Group Editors PC Shivadas, Datuk A Kadir Jasin, Datuk Ahmad Talib and Datuk Kalimullah Hassan.
The present Group Editor Datuk Syed Nadzri Syed Harun then was my immediate editor.

Musa: Blogger Popular
Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman last night acknowledged that blogs and bloggers are now becoming popular that it pose a challenge to print and electronic media in the country.
Speaking at the Kinabalu Shell Press Awards 2007 in Kota Kinabalu, the Chief Minister said:
"I can understand the challenges and pressures facing journalists as I interact with many of you almost on a daily basis. I know you have Chief Editors to answer to and deadlines to meet as well as chase after the latest scoop. I am also aware that you are competing with the growingly popular online news portals and bloggers. However, where bloggers are concerned, I must state here I hope members of the esteemed media do not resort to tactics of these faceless individual, some of who have stooped low as to put up doctored pictures."
My Say:
I blog to post issues that are not published or intentionally left out by the mainstream media. I am fully aware that in posting my views and issues of interest to the people that I am in the business of disseminating the truth, the whole truth nothing but the truth.
