Pemergian tokoh wartawan terhormat, Zainon Ahmad, 70, pada Rabu mengejutkan dunia kewartawanan tanah air. Kehilangannya sangat dirasakan oleh wartawan, pengarang dan pengamal media secara keseluruhannya.
Dedikasinya yang tinggi kepada kebebasan media serta kewartawanan yang bermutu sangat dikagumi.
Kepada wartawan generasi baru, beliau dianggap sebagai seorang bapa sekaligus guru yang tidak pernah memandang rendah kepada sesiapa pun dan tidak pernah pula meninggi diri kerana pengalamannya yang luas.

I will miss the wit & humour of Pak Zainon Ahmad, one of the doyens of the local journalism fraternity. He passed away today.

The late Pak Non was one of the few good men in Msian journalism. Gentle, decent, loyal friend. Will miss him.

Woke up to news on Pak Non. What a sad day for Msian journalism. Of the many journos out there, he was so universally loved. RIP Pak Non :(

Al-Fatihah Pak Non. Speaking to veteran journos when you're just starting out can be intimidating. He did not make me feel stupid or small.

AlFatihah Zainon Ahmad. In 1992 he advised me against joining the NST. Nice bloke.

• “A bright light of Malaysian journalism has been extinguished. May Encik Zainon rest in peace. You have more than earned your rest. Farewell, old friend...I don't know about his positions in NST. But I know he is always in the forefront when it comes to press freedom and independence of journalists. He is our voice and conscience.”
-- Chong Cheng Hai of Focus Malaysia.
