Wong Kai Hui
Hello! I am a journalist with over 9 years of experience in digital media and research. Born and raised in Malaysia, I am based in Taiwan, working at TaiwanPlus - an international media agency under the Taiwan Public Television Service Foundation.
I was formerly a journalist for Malaysian independent media Malaysiakini, where I covered politics, and wrote about sex/gender, environment, land, and youth labor. I am the Thomson Foundation Young Journalist Award 2021 winner, and my report was nominated for the Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) Awards.
I continue to write as an independent journalist and columnist. My works can be seen on various media platforms, including Taiwan's UDN Global, Linking Vision, Malaysia's Malaysiakini, and Australia's Missing Perspectives.
I shoot and edit films, and directed two documentaries. I was also the editor of an Australia-based literary platform This Is Southeast Asia, supporting young Southeast Asian writers from Malaysia and Singapore.
Feel free to reach out for collaboration:

“Kai Hui is one of the many young journalists I have the privilege to work with in Malaysiakini. She is tenacious, meticulous, and diligent in pursuing her stories – all prerequisite skills for a budding investigative journalist.”
“What I find even more remarkable - like a number of journalists in Malaysiakini - she took it upon herself to not only write her stories in Chinese, which is her strongest language, but also translate them into English and Bahasa Malaysia.”
