Head of Digital Media, Singapore Press Holdings; Deputy Editor of the Straits Times (Singapore)

A journalist all his working life, Felix specializes in security and defence and newspaper/web design. He is the author of a book on Singapore’s security history, Phoenix: The Story of the Home Team.

Felix has won several awards for newspaper design, including IFRA Publish Asia Awards and Society of Publishers Asia Awards. In 2003, he was invited to be in the panel of international judges at the Society of News Design’s Best of Design Awards, the first design expert from Asia to be given the accolade. He led the team that redesigned The Sunday Times and The Straits Times. He also redesigned The Jakarta Post.

In 2006 Felix conceptualized and launched the groundbreaking and successful social networking and citizen journalism website, STOMP, which received many international accolades.

After so many decades, his passion for journalism has not waned one iota. Felix makes it a point to get out of the “glass cage” in the newsroom regularly to undertake reporting and writing assignments – and, hence, keep in close touch with what’s happening on the ground.
