The Afghan War

on February 21, 2008 by admin

The Afghan WarWhen asked why he also had to cover Afghan War, that’s beyond Malaysia and Brunei, he said: “Since Malaysia and Brunei are peaceful (without any major news-breaking events) my chances of being sent to cover major events and hard news in Asia is greater as I am in Asia. In our terms we call it a fireman job.”

The fireman job he was referring to is his job as a photographer who covers hard news. He had to be prepared at all times to rush to any news-breaking event within Asia as and when required. “I have witnessed and covered the fall of a Filippino president and the Indonesian mass reform movement which culminated in the fall of President Suharto.”
