He then joined the prestigious Far Eastern Economic Review as an editorial artist and over 24 years rose to creative director. At FEER, he was known for his incisive single-panel political cartoons and for arresting and provocative magazine cover choices. He has also drawn cartoons for Hong Kong’s Next Magazine and Apple Daily. Chua’s publications include Tiananmen (1989), My Singapore (2000, 2008), Diversity Singapore: A Cartoon History of Immigration (2010) and In Memory of Madam Kwa Geok Choo 1920-2010 (2011).
