Chua Mui Hoong : I stayed with Straits Times for 30 years because it let me positively influence Singaporeans through my writings!
I even remained with the same employer, writing or editing for The Straits Times for over 30 years. What has kept me going is the ability to write on Singapore matters and positively influence Singaporeans through my writings.
Over the years, I considered alternatives. Could I write for a foreign news agency? But why, when the agents for change I want to influence are within Singapore? How about reporting on world news for a global news agency, some ask. While potentially intellectually engaging, my purpose is to serve Singapore, not the pursuit of journalism per se.
