Aziz takes charge at Utusan ....



Utusan Malaysia reported today the appointment of Aziz Ishak as acting group editor-in-chief with Khalid Mohd going on a three-month leave tomorrow prior to retirement.
Forty-four year old Aziz has been with the newspaper for 24 years and made a big impact as a defence writer in his days of reporting.
We go a long way covering the political beat and the prime minister when Dr Mahathir was in office.

Despite his high position, Aziz remains down-to-earth.
When I phoned to congratulate him of his appointment, he told me that it was a temporary slot.
Well, I don't think so, bro. You're the man who's going to lead Utusan for years to come.
