I wrote to the Forum page of the Straits Times about my opinions on the revamped Malay Heritage Centre. Unfortunately, it was not published. So, I’m sharing it here.

It’s Garfish, not Swordfish!
Happy to know that my book, ‘The Malay Annals: Attack of thé Garfish and Other Adventures’ made the bestsellers’ list!
This gem of a book tells other stories from the Malay Annals (Sejarah Melayu). You can use your Culture Pass to buy this book.

Kisah Noja (The Story of Noja) just won the Best Children’s Malay Language Book at the Singapore Publishers Book Awards this evening! This accidental book is Helang Books’s first Malay language book. Wished that I was there to receive the award but I’m having a bad cold and flu.

I shared my views (and statistics from my book) for The Sunday Times article about Kampong Gelam. Have a read.
ps. I do have some opinions of wakaf properties usage in Kampong Gelam but that discussion is for another day (article).

As we celebrate Eid-ul fitri, let’s say a prayer to our brothers and sisters in disadvantaged situations who are facing insurmountable challenges. May Allah grant us strength and patience during these trying times.

An Iranian singer’s tribute to the Iranian soldiers fighting for motherland…

From our youth's blood
From our youth's blood
Red tulips raised from our youth's blood,

From mourning,
Grief of their lost breaks every other waists…
