Keep calm, we're turning 30

Revolution: This is what the cover of Star2 looked like on March 1 in 1984, 1994 and 2004. Note the changing mastheads.

Star2 senior editor Ann Marie Chandy recalls the evolution of the lifestyle and features section for its 30th anniversary celebration.

I joined The Star in 1990, right after I completed my tertiary education. I was interviewed by then-Section 2 editor Davin Arul and managing editor Datuk Ng Poh Tip. It was a very unnerving experience as it was my first interview ever. Luck for me, Davin began talking about Monty Python, and I had only just been exposed to all things Pythonesque during my education in Australia. I was able to wing it and got a job on the Entertainment desk right away.
