Note from the Editor

In the recent months, articles on the website have come far and few in between. On behalf of the editorial team, I would like to apologize to our loyal readers who wish to be updated on a regular basis.

Currently, the bulk of our writers, inclusive of the editorial team are on internship with local papers or overseas media companies. It has been difficult juggling between the duties of running this news website and also the responsibilities of our respective internships.

Nevertheless, the Enquirer has a few stories that will soon be published that will engage our readers despite the tough juggling act.

Meanwhile in the about us section, we also have included a statement of our finances and the kind donations that we have received from our readers who support the Enquirer. This is our commitment to be open and transparent about the costs and benefits accrued from running this news website.

A majority of these funds will be pooled to support – part incentive and mainly basic remuneration – our reporters when they are out on the field. They will continue to produce rigourous and groundbreaking journalism that reflect what the Enquirer stands for.

Meanwhile, we hope that you, dear readers, will continue to support the Enquirer as you have before. Thank you.

    I find it interesting that you have writers who are on internship program with local papers.
