KOTA KINABALU: The media industry, especially in Sabah, has been deeply saddened by the unexpected death of Nur Adika Bujang, a correspondent for Benama Sandakan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today at noon, her lifeless body was discovered at her residence at Taman Perumahan IJM, Batu 6, Sandakan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nur Adika, who possessed a vast amount of experience and knowledge accumulated over the years, was confirmed to have passed away by her mother, Nafsiah Bubin, a former RTM Sabah DJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colleagues and friends expressed their profound grief, recognizing her untimely departure as a significant loss to the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the age of 45, the late journalist had previously worked for the now-defunct local newspaper, New Sabah Times, before joining Bernama approximately two decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former Editor-in chief of New Sabah Times Ch\u2019ng Boon Heng said the late Nur Adika was a very dedicated reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Never said \u201cNO\u201d when asked to cover an event even at night when she was working as a reporter with new sabah times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“She wants to be a good journalist. She worked hard and had set a good example for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I believe her late father, a writer himself was her inspiration. Bujang was a New Sabah Times columnist,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, former Bernama Sabah bureau chief and Bernama TV editor, Newmond Tibin said that Nuradika is among the versatile journalists who excel in writing news in both Bahasa Malaysia and English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was shocked when informed of Nuradika’s departure around 2 pm today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The last time I met Nuradika was when we both attended the Kinabalu Press Nite in Kota Kinabalu at the end of last year and she seemed quite lively,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Newmond, who was responsible for bringing four local journalists from Sabah, including Nuradika, into Bernama two decades ago, said that Bernama Sabah has lost an experienced journalist in covering court cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“When I was the bureau chief, every time there was a major case in the High Court or Court of Appeal sitting in Kota Kinabalu, I often assigned Nuradika to cover the proceedings in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is one of Nuradika’s very significant contributions to Bernama,” he said, describing her passing as untimely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
