Jonathan Fenby served as editor until 1999, when he was replaced by Robert Keatley from "The Wall Street Journal", who became interim editor. Mark Landler of "The New York Times" wrote that under Fenby, the "SCMP" was "sharply critical of the Hong Kong government" and that this may have been a factor behind Fenby being replaced. The "SCMP" has had 10 editors from 2000 to 2011. Mark Clifford, editor-in-chief of "The Standard" from 2004 to 2006, was hired as editor-in-chief in February 2006. Clifford brought with him several staffers from "The Standard", including business section editor Stuart Jackson, who departed after seven turbulent months. He presided over the controversial dismissal of several journalists over an internal prank, and himself resigned with effect 1 April 2007. Following Reginald Chua's short-lived tenure at the Post, from 2009 to April 2011, and deputy editor, Cliff Buddle served as acting editor-in-chief for 10 months.
