Wahti Mahidin came to prominence with her Sunday Mail column at the height of Era Mahathir.

With an observant eye for quirks in personalities and situations, she would gently expose and witfully prod those people, positions and possessions we would either take for granted or worship without question.

Wahti now returns to cyberspace after a hiatus that included a turn as lifestyle publisher and single–parenthood, and vows to reclaim her crown in unabashed, sassy, entertaining social commentary the likes of which Malaysia needs the most.

For a brief look at her distant past, Wahti is an alumni of Convent Bukit Nanas, and a Finance graduate from Indiana State University, USA.

She was awarded a Masters in Finance from St Louis University in Missourri, USA, and on return began her writing career at Malaysian Business magazine.

Two years after, the lure of the finance world had to be addressed and so she joined Mohaiyani Securities as an Investment/Securities Analyst.

But the passion for writing and the need to weave stories from encounters and observations drew Wahti back to journalism within two years, when she secured a position at The Sun Media Group.

The turn of the millennium another two years later saw her join the New Straits Times, where she wrote feature stories as well as news reports, covering every segment imaginable except sports.
