Cross protest: Friendship and professionalism made me come to fellow reporter's aid

PETALING JAYA: Friendship and cameraderie as journalists was what spurred 29-year-old Sinar Harian reporter Janatul Firdaus Yaacob to come to the aid of a fellow reporter during Sunday's "cross" protest.

"What I did for Nicholas, I would do for anyone else. I did it professionally as a reporter and to help a friend. There is no racial or religious issue about it," she said.
