Its official! I have accepted a job in Bangkok as the Executive Director of the Southeast Asian Press Alliance. It looks like I will start in December this year. The job wasn't really in the plan but plans change! I'm quite excited by it, also because it means having more contact with the groups and issues in the region.
It will be goodbye to the Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) ... for a while a least ...
At the same time, I'm also planning to start on my PhD, and I've got a fantastic supervisor, Zaharom Nain - who by the way was my lecturer 20 years ago in USM when I started my bachelor's. Neither one of us wants to remember how long its been since we first knew each other:) This means I plan to register at Nottingham University Malaysia and if I can complete it in less than 10 years, that would be good!
Between now and December, I'm off for 2 weeks to India, Delhi to be specific with my brother's family. A pilgrimage of some sort. A kind of preparation before starting the new phase of my life.
