I have known him since the early 90s and we covered many overseas assignments together.
Star Media Group chief content officer Datin Paduka Esther Ng said it was a sad day for Star Media Group and herself personally.“He is irreplaceable, really. He was the savvy editor we all ran to for guidance to clear difficult, sensitive stories or other articles, and he was the one we leaned on in times of crisis,” she said.
“As a seasoned newspaperman who had seen it all, Rozaid provided invaluable advice to many of The Star journalists, including myself. Farewell, Roz, you will be missed.”“There were no formalities with him even after he assumed his post at the PMO,” he said.
