Bloggers can identify with Wong Chun Wai too

"SINCE the first On The Beat was published on Feb 23, 1997, Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai’s column has appeared religiously every Sunday, except when there was no Sunday Star due to press shutdowns. That means he produced pieces while managing breaking news about national and international crises, when he was on leave or on holiday, when he was ill.

It must be passion."

Well, we do not need to be a Datuk Seri nor Group Editor of a major newspaper to do that. Just that, unless you are a well known blogger, only a small number know what you are writing! We can do it everyday too, or even a few times a day, and we get to decide what gets published.

But I am surprised about the lack of response to his column...

"At times, Wong receives 10 to 20 responses to his column in a week. And sometimes, there is no feedback at all – “Then I wonder if the article is inconsequential, has no impact or people are just bored by it.”"

But then again, from my personal experience, people get fed up if whenever they wrote to the newspapers, their letters never see the light of day. Being chief editor, he should have known.
