She returned to ‘The Star’ to visit her old stomping grounds at the newspapers’ Penang headquarters in March this year. — LIM BENG TATT/The Star

SHE can lay claim to being one of the first people to know what Tunku Abdul Rahman wrote each week in his column “As I See It” in The Star back in the 1970s and ‘80s.
