Millie Lee is 22, smart and ready to start the Singaporean media job of her dreams. She just has to avoid the sexual advances of dirty old men in a newsroom both digitally and emotionally stunted.

This proves to be a tougher challenge than she expected.

Her supervisor wants to sleep with her. Her editor wants to take bets on sleeping with her and her CEO thinks her cleavage will boost their TikTok numbers.

Will Millie survive the casual misogyny of Hokkien Half-Ball, Peranakan Pervert, Uncle Groper, Slick Scholar, Captain Mayhem and other questionable colleagues in the old-school haunts of news reporting, TV and radio?

This is the fictional memoir of a young woman in Singapore trying to make it in a man's media world.

Reviews for Dirty Old Media Men

‘A journalist’s exposé of journalism in Singapore … fun, funny and absolutely appalling! Filled with pithy irony, Millie Lee gives us much to think about in her graphic descriptions of a fictitious Singapore newsroom. Shocking!’ Devika Misra, The Asian Bookshelf and former 938Live broadcaster ‘I absolutely love it! Beautifully crafted with hilarious characters. I laughed out loud so many times, my husband wants to read it now.’ Neo Swee Lin, actor ‘A delightful read that invokes and provokes various emotions. A steely effort of grit and humour, shining the light on the underbelly of sexual harrassment in newsrooms.’ Braema Mathi, human rights activist, former Nominated Member of Parliament and Straits Times senior correspondent
