Paula Tan

Having spent a good seventeen years of her life writing, Paula has put her abilities to use in broadcasting - first in TV3 post-production, and over the past decade, Astro. Living in three cities has flavored her perspectives, but her birthplace Penang remains firmly under her skin. A free spirit and love for travel keeps Paula on the move, capturing the best of people and places, in print and on film. With their signature historical slant, her pieces on life across Asia and abroad preserve rich traditions and the stories of those who came before. For Paula, the definition of a good time is strolling down a backstreet in a foreign country, camera in hand. If she had to take two buses and a mule train to get there, that would be perfectly fine
