Cindy Tham (cindytham@thenutgraph.com) has been a journalist since 1995, and worked with theSun newspaper and The Edge business and investment weekly. She has covered general, business and economic news, as well as written analysis on current issues. After all these years, she still thinks she has so much more to learn. And since she’s not getting any younger, she’s decided it’s time to end the long affair with print to explore what she can do with technology on the internet. She teamed up with journalists Jacqueline Ann Surin and Danny Lim to set up MalaysiaVotes.com to cover the 2008 general election, and later co-founded The Nut Graph with Jacqueline. Cindy used to write the Web Lyrical column for The Nut Graph. She has since resigned from the company. |
