Who is Lester Melanyi?

In 2006, The Sarawak Tribune's editor-on-duty Lester Melanyi has resigned after a caricature depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist appeared on Page 12 of the paper on Saturday.
 

The Tribune published a "notification" on its front page yesterday. It reads in part: "Although the text accompanying the caricature was not legible so as to give meaning to the caricature, the publisher and editorial committee feel that the said extract should not have been published at all."
 

It went on to explain that following an internal inquiry, the editor-on-duty was found to have been solely responsible.

The paper adds: "The editor-on-duty concerned has admitted and regretted his oversight and officially written an apology and at the same tine taken full responsibility for the same. The editor-on-duty has voluntarily resigned forthwith."
 

Lester's resignation followed an editorial committee meeting which convened Saturday night.
