But the proofs often do

Heres proof that old editors never fade away, they only wait for the next editionPJ Joshua, editor of the Sunday Mail and Malay Mail in the early 1970s, giving a once-over to early proofs of New Straits Times pages on Friday and sharing a pointer or two with Theresa Manavalan, editor of the New Sunday Timess magazine section.

PJ Joshua was among more than 30 former journalists of the Straits Times Malaysia and the New Straits Times who visited Balai Berita on Friday for a tea party hosted by the newspaper. They were welcomed by Nuraina Samad, managing editor, Zainul Ariffin, group editor in chief, and Anthony Bujang, the CEO.

Nuraina is the daughter of NST and Berita Harian legend A Samad Ismail, who held the same position in the 1970s before he was detained under the Internal Security Act by the Hussein Onn government as part of a power struggle among Umno leaders, aided and abetted by Singaporean elements.

Pak Samad, a mentor to many of those present at the tea party, was one of those directly involved in the split of the Singapore-based Straits Times and the Umno takeover of its Malaysian half, aided by some of those present who were then members of the National Union of Journalists.

More than 110 veteran NST journalists will attend a reunion gathering and dinner in Petaling Jaya today, sponsored by a former editor turned businessman. Many of the veterans now live abroad: Joshua is one of a handful of former ST and NST journos who live in Sydney, working at newspapers there. He has since published a novel.

YB SEX SCANDAL - PART 4 (from Sabahkini)- in Malay

BAB 1, SIRI IV : SEKRITARI (SAMBUNGAN) DALAM siri ketiga, Sabahkini.net terus dihujani dengan pelbagai pertanyaan terutama benarkah Skandal Tersebut melibatkan YB yang bernama Rahim sedangkan sudah dinyatakan bahawa jika ada persamaan nama atau tempat hanya secara kebetulan sahaja; tetapi mereka terus mendesak untuk mengetahui sama ada tokoh berkenaan YB mereka.

Ikuti Siri III untuk Bab 1: Sekritari yang menjadi igauan negeri ramai YB kerana mereka juga tidak sunyi daripada melakukan kesilapan disebabkan menyimpan gundik, melakukan jenayah seksual seperti mencabul kehormatan, merogol dan meliwat; malah mengamalkan Rasuah Seks yang sukar dibuktikan oleh SPRM.
