KULAI: Waking up in the wee hours of the morning to deliver newspapers to the public, especially in an oil palm estate is no easy task but businessman Tee Seng Howa has been successfully doing this for about 20 years now.

Tee, who used to be a contractor in Sabah for many years, said he did not expect his new venture into the newspaper industry to require so much hard work, sacrifices and commitment.
