Ambassador Keith greets Editor In Chief of Nanyang Siang Pau, Mr. Chong Tien Siong along with senior staff of the paper at the newspaper's offices in Petaling Jaya.
|
On December 2, 2008 Ambassador Keith paid a visit to Nanyang Siang Pau Newspaper, one of Malaysia's oldest Chinese-language
newspapers. He met with Editor in Chief Mr. Chong Tien Siong and senior staff for a broad-ranging, off-the-record discussion,
and then visited Nanyang's "Hall of History" where photographs and memorabilia chronicle the 85-year history of the paper, founded
by philanthropist-entrepreneur Tan Kah Kee in Singapore in 1923, and published in Malaysia since the 1970s.
Later, the Ambassador was interviewed by a senior reporter, with questions ranging from the future of the US-Malaysia bilateral relationship in a new U.S.
administration, to issues of economics, trade, and the global economic crisis. Nanyang Press is part of a global Chinese language
media platform that includes Ming Pao, and Sin Chew Media.
