PN Balji: “Gangsta Sista, meet my friend, Tai Ho!”
PN Balji will not be the only journalist who wants to tell his story about witnessing professionally and personally the dramatic changes in Singapore during the crucial 1960s to the present. Like Cheong Seng Yip’s OB Markers: My Straits Times Story, Balji’s own book, Reluctant Editor, offered fascinating insights into life in local media functioning under the watchful eyes of an authoritarian government. Woon Ta Ho’s Transition: The Story of PN Balji is another such contribution. There are others in the pipeline. I am in the midst of finishing my own version.
Transition is an immensely readable book. It is by a veteran media person in conversation with another veteran media person. It passes the first and most vital test of whether the normal reader can immediately relate to what’s being said. No couching of words or intention. It asks simple and pointed questions: “Getting into trouble with the authorities – was that something that was always on your mind?” Woh! This is definitely not a self-indulgent closed group academic treatise that few people care about. It is about real-life situations, of real-life people with real-life issues.
