Yong Soo Heong, the Bernama Editor-in-Chief, was probably the first journo to get the taste of the post-March 08 Lim Guan Eng. And so, in his own way, he was the dude who showed me the Penang CM's pettiness and arrogance after PRU12. Guan Eng's demand for an apology, here, was a bit "over" already, but making "public" a private apology was simply unbecoming. Guan Eng would go on and made enemies of mainstream journalists who had been nothing but fair to him before he became CM. I started being wary of the new Guan Eng and whatever he claimed to represent ...
Well, I hear that the same Yong is tipped to become the next General Manager of Bernama and that is probably good news to my friends at the national news agency. The blogger Big Dog confirms in his latest posting End of Shelf Life (he was referring to Rais Yatim, by the way) that the tenure of the last GM ended with 2012 and would not be renewed.
Two questions;
1. Who will be the new Editor-in-Chief of Bernama?
2. How long will Yong's term as GM be - six months, one year?
(Rais Yatim likes short tenures for his officers, perhaps so that they won't overstay their welcome like he's doing ...) .
p.s. I hear there will also be an announcement with regards to a major appointment in Felda Global Ventures Berhad this week. FGV group president/CEO Sabri Ahmad's tenure, however, doesn't end until middle this year. And he does not report to Rais Yatim, fortunately.
May be they can take a look at this guy, Azam Aris from The Edge. He's a seasoned journalist. Got involved in the world of journalism since 1980's. He's articulate and crisp in both Malay and English, which is a must if you want to work with Bernama. His work on Tan Sri Azizan memoir is breathtaking to read. His style and insight as good as the native speaker, if not better, which is rare among Malay writers.

ReplyDeleteKHAIRY TIDAK AKAN BERTANDING SEMULA PILIHAN RAYA KE 13
Ketua Pemuda UMNO Malaysia yang juga anggota Parlimen Rembau, Khairy Jamaluddin mungkin tidak akan dicalonkan untuk bertanding semula dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke13 berikutan dengan pendedahan bahawa beliau telah berhutang berjuta ringgit dari Bank Pertanian yang pembayaran semulanya menjadi persoalan.
Pinjaman itu dikatakan diperolehinya sebelum Datuk Seri Najib mengambil alih jawatan Perdana Menteri.
Pekara ini telah diketahui umum termasuk kalangan UMNO dan hari ini (30 Disember 2012), Suara Parti Keadilan,Keadilandaily yang Anwar Ibrahim adalah Ketua Umumnya telah menimbulkan beberapa pertanyaan dan kritikan berhubung dengan pinjaman itu.
Khairy adalah simpatisan Anwar Ibrahim yang terbukti apabila Anwar dibebaskan, beliau sendiri telah menghantar pasport antarabangsa untuk Anwar mendapat rawatan tengkok patah di luar negara.

Distractions again from real issues brewing out there!
