Heart and Soul: The man with the big voice

Samson had his first audience with Pope John Paul II in 1993. — NEUBERT AMBROSE

When I was a young boy growing up in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, and attending St Joseph's Church, the name E. Samson was a familiar name. It was synonymous with audiovisual media, broadcasting, music and stage plays.

Samson had his humble beginnings in Sentul and spent a great deal of time in the church’s youth activities. It was the start of a great plan God had for him in the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur that would span more than 50 years.
