Where do I even begin? I grew up with you in 1986 at the TV3 newsroom. I began as a wardrobe coordinator preparing your tie, hanky, shirt and jacket. You’re particular with what you’re wearing and would give us a piece of your mind if it didn’t look right. 3 months down the road I began to do reporting and henceforth anchored the news with you. It was’nt easy. I was nervous each time I’m to read the news with you. Pronounciation, diction and research – you gave me hell, but hey, look what I’ve become. Thank you Abang Dale, thank you for giving me all the tips during the years. Thank you for the kindness, the laughter, the sometimes hillariously ‘bitchy’ moments, the strict ‘mock runs’ during training but most of all, for being a friend and an older brother. You were unique, and no one will be able to replace you ever (that’s for sure).
The country, broadcast & emceeing fraternity have lost a gem. Ina lillah wa ina ilaihi rhojioon, you will be missed.
