NST Scoop!

I've only seen it in movies, about how newspapers vie for the latest scoop just to have an exclusive on the front pages the next day.

Well, today there is such an incident whereby News Straits Times is ahead of the Star. The secret wedding of the Home Affairs Minister and an ex newscaster became public gossip over the last couple of days. Star reports that their journalists exhausted all their contacts trying to locate her as the engagement was supposed to take place last night. They were at her kampung in Johor but no one there knew anything about the ceremony taking place.

NST front page today happily reports of their marriage last night. Oh, I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the Star newsdesk team today.
