Farewell to one long sigh of a year.


LIKE many other years, 2016 was personally a year of ups and downs. The highlight of my year was secu­ring this column; allowing me to continue writing following the closure of an online portal back in March that used to feature my articles.

There are many things to be grateful for, yet there are also many sad occasions. The loss of The Star’s Executive Editor, Soo Ewe Jin, after barely six months of my working with him, made me feel robbed of time and opportunity to know good people, good Malaysians.
