Humble, honest and easygoing ‘Tok’

A file picture showing the late Amiruddin, his wife Siti and son Romi visiting the writer at his home during Christmas.

I FELL off my motorcycle and fractured my leg in a hit-and-run accident back in 1994. It was my second year as a rookie journalist at The Star in Penang.

And, I was out of action for almost a year after that. In that time, among the colleagues who fondly visited me was A.R. Amiruddin.
