PETALING JAYA: Malaysian-born Los Angeles Times journalist Marcus Yam is still in shock after winning the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography on May 9.

"I apologise for chiming in so late. I didn't dare log into social media for a while, not until I spent a moment with the key people that helped me grow as a human being and a journalist.

Yam added that he wanted to highlight the special and amazing partnership that he had with Nabih Bulos, who constantly pushed, taught and sometimes annoyed him, to do the good work that they did together.He said he has very trusting editors at the Times who listen to their reporters on the ground, affording them the privilege of following their instincts.

"Calvin Hom, you are the best mentor and boss . Without you, there is no me. Thank you for hiring me into the Times and for guiding me through seven-plus years here with a single lesson: the Allegory of the Chariot," he said, adding that their foreign team, however small, was willing to go above and beyond."Laura King and David Pierson are great examples. I’m proud to be a part of this line-up of talented correspondents led by Jeffrey Fleishman.
