All Pak Samad's children can contribute to this. Take time to compile it. Make TWB as your 1st draft and improve it.It should be from the family's point of views and how all of you manage and cope with it. I know it will be an eye opener to many Malaysians.<BR/>Also hope Kak Teh will write a book about our sailors in Liverpool.<BR/><BR/>Take your time NAS, but please do write TWB: the memoirs.tokasidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06767973481117699680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-26551283275734052602007-02-28T09:04:00.000+08:002007-02-28T09:04:00.000+08:00Salam tu NurainaSiri 'Tuesdays with bapak' HARUS, ...Salam tu Nuraina<BR/><BR/>Siri 'Tuesdays with bapak' HARUS, dibukukan (saya sungguh2 berharap).

Everyone was silent, stunned, afraid. At least I was. I don't know why. As i entered the library, there were these heaps of books lying on the table and the chief librarian asked me to stamp all of them with the NSTP library chop. Then I knew it was Pak Samad's books taken from his office. 'They' rummaged through his office and took what they wanted. Those they didn't need they sent to the library. I never saw Pak Samad after that day until he came back to NST a couple of years ago to take up a posting which didn't last too long as well. They also took my uncle's very good friend ( I forget his name) working with Berita Harian. I never saw him since. The media said they were communists. I don't know. But I know today there are people worst than communists freely walking our streets. And sad to say, they are free.tony -stand-up philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113883769941368315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-31723422800266549262007-02-27T22:01:00.000+08:002007-02-27T22:01:00.000+08:00FR2020: actually, there are many things that are s...FR2020: actually, there are many things that are still a blur, not only to me. but to my siblings. There are things that i want to remember but they are just a blank. I try to fill in many missing pieces of this dark past. Whatever i can remember, i try to capture it as vividly as i possibly can.
