Zam was one formidable journalist


I REFER to Rozaid Abdul Rahman’s excellent tribute to the late Tan Sri Zainuddin Maidin (aka Zam), “Zam, the King and I” (Sunday Star, Nation, Dec 16; online at tinyurl.com/star-zam).

Rozaid’s reminiscences of Zam were indeed moving and afforded valuable insights about the latter’s passion and commitment as a newspaper editor as well as mentor to numerous journalists in the media industry in Malaysia.
