Kumaran Pillai was formerly an SDP member? I did not know that.
He had been editor of TOC too. Seems that TOC changes editor very frequently.

As for Balji, for years he had been with TNP before he joined TODAY, and then left...

Alfred Dodwell is not particularly known for sharp rhetoric - ask any of his clients. Wayang I have been told is pretty awesome.
