Dear Nisar
Just before Nicholas Fang left the office after watching
the closing ceremony of the South-east Asian Games, he remarked to
me: "I hope the temps had not caused too much trouble".
Well, Nick and all you other temps, I can honestly say this: No, you
did not. Leslie Fong, the Straits Times editor was pretty pleased
with the SEA Games coverage, I guess most of us at the Sports Desk
were too.

It would be grossly unfair to ignore the contributions of the 10 of
you who were employed as temporary reporters during the Games. Although
given 'non-glamourous' beats, all managed to bring in at least one
page lead each. Congratulations.
Most of you worked well beyond the eight-hour daily stints. Your attitude
was certainly commendable. So too was your writing.
I have no hesitation to add that, if you do carry on with the same
degree of professionalism shown during the Games week, you will have
a sound future in journalism.
It was a privilege working with you. With best regards,
Yours
sincerely
