Citizen Journalism Blog

I found this really short clip of 18 seconds long message from Shuf. Shuf is one of our big bosses in the video department in Malaysiakini dot tv. We citizen journalists were trained by Malaysiakini-ICFJ. Actually, he is not even our boss. More like some reliable, knowledgeable, veteran chap whom we can rely on.

So, this is Shuf 18 seconds long praises for us citizen journalists of Malaysia. Thank you, Shuf…

And can I also share my 22 seconds of praise from one of my favourite interview subjects. He is none other than the Chief Minister of Penang. Without him and his earliest approval of my reporting, I probably will not have achieved this much.

I went to the CM’s office to interview him about PICC. As usual, I set up my camera, waited for him and when he was seated, I got right down to my set of questions. But he surprised me with this wish. He even insisted I put that in my video. But of course, my topic is serious and I don’t think those who watch it will be amused with the lighter side of the CM. So, I cut it off and air it alone.
