Been a while since I added a new kid to my blogroll.
Say hi to Jepry Jaws. At 28, he has already been a journalist with TV3 and the Vibes (yes, that portal Terence Fernandez and I helped start in 2020 to bring down a government). Even did national service, though briefly, as an elected member of the National Press Club of Malaysia exco. The young man from Melaka is hoping to come back to journalism, which is tough because most of the media outlets are struggling to survive under Madani. Confident that somethning will come up (and I share his confidence), he’s decided to while away his time by posting regularly on his blog jepryjaws.blogspot.com
His obituary on two members of the NPC I knew well, entitled Ronnie and Steven Lessons: “Observation, not just listening”, was unique in an endearing way. Of his preoccuption with Trump, I don’t quite understand, but his other pieces related to the media expose raw edges that make refreshing read, especially given the state of journalism these days.
My advise to Jepry Jaws: Keep writing, without malice, and try not to get sued … :)
