Big boost for Down Under Today
JUST over a month after its launch, Down Under Today has received the biggest boost in a Malaysian newspaper, Malay Mail, which also ran the second part of the story in its website.
Published in its CyberSpot page, the story was written by journalist Sheila Rahman whose style of writing is impressive as it is refreshing.
The Malay Mail, formerly part of the New Straits Times Group, is now privately owned by a group of shareholders. It has several interesting features and has shown, in a sense, what it can do in meeting the challenges of the readers for a quality newspaper in Malaysia.
It has received Malaysia's prestigious prize Winner of the 2008 MPI Petronas Best Investigative Journalism Award.
I think the Malay Mail deserves the support of the Malaysian readers, not because it has given me much publicity, but because it is a newspaper that provides different viewpoints and different types of stories on the day-to-day reporting. And I would be pleased if my Malaysian followers would fully support the Malay Mal just as it has done for downundertoday.com
To avoid any misconstrued perception, I would like to stress that the call for this support is not the result of any barter agreement between the Malay Mail and I. It is my belief that the Malay Mail knows how to pick a good story, in this case, it happens to be my life story and what I have done in my career and still continue to do for my supporters when I could have simply retired and take things easily.
But I can't find myself doing nothing -- that's my life style.
Having said that, here's story of my life as journalist Sheila Rahman of the Malay Mail sees it in an online interview:
