THE holiday season is always the best time to watch TV shows. I am not sure if others will agree with me, but I spend an enormous amount of time in front of the small screen watching football, Netflix movies and Astro, too.
Right now, my favourite pick from Astro is a Malaysian-made TV series about politics.
Wong Chun Wai began his career as a journalist in Penang, and has served The Star for over 35 years in various capacities and roles. He is now group editorial and corporate affairs adviser to the group, after having served as group managing director/chief executive officer.
On The Beat made its debut on Feb 23 1997 and Chun Wai has penned the column weekly without a break, except for the occasional press holiday when the paper was not published. In May 2011, a compilation of selected articles of On The Beat was published as a book and launched in conjunction with his 50th birthday. Chun Wai also comments on current issues in The Star.
