Bye, Yuk Peng! Hello, Marsha!
Lee Yuk Peng, my editor cum teacher, who took me into her “training academy” and trained me up to be a stringer / journalist since 11 months ago. I am her 14th stringer and there’s no doubt why others see her office as the training ground and academy of producing stringers and future journalist.
Barely a year, she broke the news to us that she would be promoted transferred back to Menara Star at Petaling Jaya and a new boss would be taking over the bureau.
Yuk Peng,
It was really my pleasure to be trained by you, work for you and work with you throughout the past 11 months. Not only had you opened a door of opportunities for me, you have shown me a path that I could walk on with my interest for writing.
Thank you for all the patience and guidance all this while. Certainly, I have learned a lot from you and there are much more to learn from you. On top of that, you have showed me a lot of things that I never know and also gave me the chance to experience things that not many people get to.
All the best in your future undertakings and I hope to join you and work with you again in near future.
Jason.
Out goes Yuk Peng, here comes Marsha Tan from the Johor Bahru’s bureau.
Marsha, 26, is the newest bureau chief for the Malacca office. She has a degree in TES (Teaching English as a Second language) but teaching wasn’t something that she wanted. She joined The Star approximately 4 years and 9 months ago (Coincidently, the same time when Yuk Peng took over the Malacca office.) and has been reporting for the Johor Bahru office since then.
Welcome to Malacca, Marsha!
P/S : She doesn’t know my blog’s URL yet. -lol-
