My friend Jeff Ooi lamented in his Screenshots a few days ago:
"Come September 9 to the date, the late Penang-born journalist KS Choong will be remembered again for giving birth to The Star at Weld Quay, Penang; Malaysia 38 years ago.
Sadly, the People's Paper is now a Party's Paper."
From Weld Quay Penang to Pitt Street, to Jalan Travers KL then to Section 13 PJ and to Phileo Damansara... Happy anniversary!
But aren't we forgetting one person without whom there will be no "People's Paper"?
I am talking about K.S.Choong, the FOUNDER of The Star; do you think at the celebration tomorrow, any of the merry making Star people ever remember K.S.Choong?
When I "rejoin" The Star the third time round I noticed that all the Star people tend to behave he did not exist!
