Tony Thien, my friend dies

Sarawak veteran journalist S C Chan passed away this morning at the Normah Specialist Hospital after a by-pass surgery. My friends in Kuching alerted me on this sad news this morning.

He was 61, better known as Tony Thien in th Malaysiakini portal where he was a correspondent. He was also contributing to several other publications. He helped build up my networking with other Press and the State Government when I was News Editor of New Straits Times based in Kuching (2000-2005).

My condolence to Mr SC's family.
