I first met Ahirudin bin Attan a.k.a Rocky when he is no longer the executive editor of Malay Mail. I’m a nobody, however he is gracious enough to share the experience he has gone through and treats me like an old friend.

By looking into the huge turnout at the birthday party thrown to him by the National Press Club (NPC), everyone says that he is a great man. Indeed, he truly is.

There was once he told Ong Hock Chuan, a former journalist who is now based in Jakarta: Once a journalist, forever a journalist.

That holds, at least for him for now.

Happy 45th Birthday, Rocky! Way to go, way to go!
