Lichong, who is also a member of the Council of Administrators of the Malaysia-Indonesia Journalists Fraternity (Iswami), said the book also includes writings related to various aspects throughout his 40 years in journalism.
“I reflect a bit on my journalism career that started in Sabah, flourished in the peninsula, and then anchored back in my own state.
“I embrace three eras of journalism — the conventional era with all its traditional aspects, then entering the digital gate, and now heading towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 era,” he said.
