first person On Sept 12 about 8.30pm, I was at home in Bukit Mertajam in Penang. While enjoying my yew char koay (fried dough stick), I was worrying about the show-cause letter issued to Sin Chew Daily, and anxious about the days ahead for my newspaper.
Suddenly, a group of plainclothes police officers appeared at my front gate. The person who started to identify the group and the purpose of this visit was a woman officer. She was also the only one in uniform.
