Description
《A KUIK CUP OF TEA》（ISBN：9786297800578）compiles Kuik Cheng Kang ‘A Kuik Cup of Tea’ columns published in 2025 and 2026 across Sin Chew Daily, Nanyang Siang Pau, China Press, and Guang Ming Daily, as well as selected articles from his ‘Editor’s Time’ column published in Sin Chew Daily between 2022 and 2024.
Kuik Cheng Kang has devoted himself to the media industry for 40 years. He has personally experienced the transformation of the paper media era to the digital wave, and has also witnessed the transformation and challenges of Chinese media in the great changes of the times. As a senior media person, he has been in contact with the prime minister, ministers, government officials, leaders of the Chinese Association and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the general public for a long time, mastering multiple perspectives, so that his words can deeply reflect the real situation and social pulse of the event.
On the issue of solidarity, Kuik Cheng Kang bluntly said that some politicians seek political benefits by inciting antagonism and manipulating emotions. At the same time, he emphasised that ‘with love in his heart, everything in his eyes is Halal’. By reflecting on the wrong drawing of the national flag, he revealed the profound harm of racial politics, extreme speech and double standards to press freedom and social inclusion, and pointed out that when patriotism is enforced and labelled, the national flag gradually loses the power to unite people.
This book also brings together the high evaluations of editors-in-chief in the media circles of different languages, affirming the depth and responsibility tempered by Kuik’s 40 years of news experience. His writing is calm and warm, not only facing power and reality, but also insight into society and people’s hearts. In addition, this book contains precious images of his 40-year media career, records the footprints of his companionship with the Chinese Community, and also presents his ideological confrontation and spiritual inheritance with the media on public issues.
