Cheong Yip Seng was the longest serving Editor-in-Chief of SPH - 20 years.
He was a rookie reporter in the 1960s and 70s. He travelled extensively. He had substantive face time with then-PM Lee Kuan Yew, and firebrand Ministers like Dr Goh Keng Swee, S. Rajaratnam, and Lim Kim San.
Cheong wrote 2 books: “OB Markers” which was especially controversial, and “Ink and Influence” launched in July 2025.
In a 1-hour no-holds-barred on-camera IQ interview, Cheong shared extensively.
He talked about his challenges in managing the interests and idiosyncrasies of the political masters. Also, how he tried to balance this with journalistic integrity and ethics.
