"How to write sensational things (Fund) but avoid controversy (Ethics)?"
Is one of the questions I asked the 999 Producer, Harris Farok Alex, whom I was very close to at that time, now and forever.
"You've done that... you just didn't realize..." he said, Harris was one of Mazidul Akmal Sidek's protege when he was a rookie-journalist. One of the moments I miss: Cerita Kedai Kopi With Him. That was a long time ago.
"I don't want you to be like Mazidul Akmal Sidek." is one of the reasons why Harris didn't want to hire me... which I understand... It's about the "situation", "socio-politics" and "struggle". Yes "media struggle".
"Rockybru was among the first people who set up the media... if you want to go, go."
Is one of the sentences where I believe there must be a reason for it. As a "friend" I believe there is something he wants to throw out especially regarding the Media Issues.
And believe me Harris, We've made it, I just had to "sacrifice". :)
I am known for people who like to sleep in the office., to the point where people around me say, "Don't you have a home?"
Well... my family is not from the journalist community.
At the same time, I am very transparent about finances. If there is a leak, I will reprimand, or just leave.
Believe me, if I am accepted at Bernama, as a visual editor, the Bernama office will be my first home.
My weakness? It's "Chinggey" :)
