Write to Right, Right to Write

Hi Friends, 

To help me plan the number of copies, I usually ask for sponsors. As this book is useful to be given away as gifts to journalists and budding journalists in the school of journalism, please let me know how many copies you would like to order from me at 50% of the price i.e. RM10 per copy. If you would like me to distribute the books, for example, to people in Sarawak when I will be there in early September to talk to secondary school students, let me know. Your sponsorship would defintely help me to make this personal memoir a meaningful project for me to leave as a legacy to encourage younger journalists to remain persistent and passionate about the purpose for which they are called to write, not just writing for the money, but to see improvement to the living standsards of our fellow Malaysians. 

Thank you. 
Stephen Ng
