In the early 60s, Kit Siang was a budding journalist in Singapore.

The following is an exclusive excerpt from Chapter 7 of ‘Lim Kit Siang: Malaysian First, Volume One: None But the Bold’, a new biography by Kee Thuan Chye.It happened in September [1965], the month after Singapore had separated from Malaysia. Kit had already got a verbal affirmation from RTS [Radio Television Singapore] that the editor’s position would be his. Then Devan called him and asked to meet up.

Kit sensed there and then what Devan was leading up to. But he was also taken aback because this was something he had never expected. Suddenly, his pulse was racing. His ears were throbbing. And the words came tumbling out: “So, you’re asking me here for an interview? You want to employ me to be your pol-sec? If that’s the case, you don’t even need to say it, I accept.”

Millions depend on Malaysiakini for the truth. Millions depend on Malaysiakini for quality journalism. Millions depend on Malaysiakini to stand in honour of integrity and justice.
