Pak Syed, I want to read your memoir. Tulislah pasal your childhood di Penang dan bagaimana boleh menjadi journalist, hari-hari di BERNAMA, bekerja dengan Menteri dan lain-lain. I am sure ramai anak buah dan bekas anak buah nak baca.

Its a shame what Penang has become now. Nearly brought tears to my eyes.
