Groom newspaper vendors, leader urges members
NEWSPAPER distribution needs new blood, said Nanyang Siang Pau.
Quoting National Newspapers Vendors’ Association chairman Tan Choon Huat, the paper said association members must train younger workers to take over the business.
When the older ones retire, the younger workers would be ready to take over the reins, he told guests at a dinner to mark the association’s 24th anniversary in Malacca on Saturday.
Tan also urged vendors who are not members to join for the betterment of vendors in general.
“There are still many who have not done so.
“Thus, the association could not expand to meet the challenges of the future and fight for common benefits.
“Co-operation is strength,” he said, adding that the business would prosper if vendors work together.
Sin Chew Daily reported that an 18-year-old national service trainee had alleged that a doctor molested her during her training in Kulim.
The girl, from Penang, claimed that the doctor committed the offence at his clinic when she went to see him over a stomach upset.
She told her parents about the incident when she returned home for Christmas. She then lodged a police report last Thursday. No arrest has been made so far.
Yesterday’s tsunamis, triggered by an earthquake in Indonesia, dominated the pages of all the Chinese dailies.
Nanyang Siang Pau gave 10 pages to the tragedy, and reported that Penang was the worst hit area in the country.
Sin Chew Daily’s coverage spanned 19 pages, and it pointed out that at least 40 people had been killed and over 20 remained missing.
China Press splashed the news on nine pages, stating that the catastrophe had claimed at least 46 lives in the northern states.
All the papers were replete with photographs, graphics and articles on the disaster.
