In his speech, Syed advised the NST people to be focused on their job and avoid the destructive practice of office politics. He called on them to be united in facing the challenges which beset the once mighty NST.
As for his future, Syed said he will not be retiring per se as he will be engaged with other occupations.
I first met Syed many years ago. He is a pleasant and highly intelligent man. Always appeared to be calm under pressure, Syed is indeed a cool guy. He is also to me one of the best writers in this country. His trademark should be his subtlety in conveying his thoughts. There are few Malaysian writers better than him that I know.
The best quality of him as a journalist, however, as far as I'm concerned, was his total lack of malice in his writings. He is indeed the true gentleman of Malaysian journalism, and perhaps one of the last journalists of the old school.
To Tuan Syed, all the best and may Allah bless you with many happy and prosperous years in future. Thanks for everything.

ReplyDeleteThank you for everything Datuk Syed Nadzri. We will miss you.
All the best to Mr Nice Guy and Cool Guy.
ReplyDeleteMemanglah Big Cat sebagai wartawan will miss him.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to Datuk Syed Nazri! I had the opportunity to work with him during my stint with NST (albeit me working in the Sales Department). He is a visionary and easy to discuss issues. I wish there are more GE with the same caliber, dedication and commitment.

ReplyDeleteTHE NST WOULD NOT BE IN SUCH A DEPLORABLE STATE IF HE HAD BEEN THE GROUP EDITOR.
THE NST HAS GOOD GROUP EDITORS IN TAN SRI LEE SIEW YEE AND TAN SRI DR NOORDIN SOPHIEE. AFTER THEM, ARE ARE RUBBISH.
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN NST WHEN THEY WERE EDITORS.
DATUK, YOU ARE DIFFERENT.
ALL THE BEST.
