It is no exaggeration to say that the first... publication of TIME BOMBS IN MALAYSIA 30 years ago took the country by storm, becoming an instant bestseller. It was the first time that a book was published critiquing the nation-building ills in the country which had consistently been blacked out in the national media.
To ensure that it was not banned, a deliberate decision was taken to ensure that it only contained my parliamentary speeches during my first two terms
in Parliament from 1971 to 1978
.
Hopefully, the re-publication of TIME BOMBS IN MALAYSIA on the 30th anniversary of its publication will contribute to the national debate and
decision on whether the 13th general election should see the end of Umno-dominated Barisan Nasional federal government as the great and burning
issues of freedom, justice, accountability, integrity, unity and solidarity, highlighted more than three decades ago in the book, remain unresolved and can only be addressed effectively if there is a complete
change of government in Putrajaya. – LIM KIT SIANG

New Malaysian Essays 2
Edited by Amir Muhammad
Publisher: Matahari
ISBN-13: 978-983-4359-68-3
300 pages
RM36.00
Bigger and maybe more badass than the first, New Malaysian Essays 2 has ten non-fiction pieces. Shanon Shah squarely faces the politics of religion and Mohammad Tajuddin Mohamad Rasdi critiques ‘power architecture’..., a subject Ridhwan Saidi also handles with witty immediacy. We then take in Amir Sharipuddin’s journal of National Service, Yusuf Martin’s amusing rant on the Americanisation (or is that Americanization?) of popular culture, Amir Muhammad’s views on royalty, Ann Lee’s secret history of leprosy, and Danny Lim’s photo-essay on our newly-regained love for public demonstrations. As night falls, Andrew Ng and Jac sm Kee play twin tributes to the female undead that not only scare us but help define us.

New The Memoirs of Shamsiah Fakeh: From AWAS to 10th Regiment
Shamsiah Fakeh

Shamsiah Fakeh was a leader in the independence movement among a group of Malay women who fought persistently right into the jungles of Malaya. She was the head of Angkatan Wa...nita Sedar (AWAS), which joined forces with Angkatan Pemuda Insaf (API) as flag bearers in the demand for independence from the British. Her collaboration with Ahmad Boestamam, the API head, stoked the spirits of a substantial number of Malayan youths to take up arms against the colonisers. Shamsiah also joined the 10th Regiment, the Malay wing of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP). Her life was filled with thorny obstacles.
She got lost a few times in the jungle in pursuit of the armed struggle for independence. Her struggle was regardless of place, whether in the jungle or the international arena. She and her husband Ibrahim were sent to China, Indonesia and Vietnam within a framework of inflaming the spirit of nationalism among the people of Southeast Asia who were still colonised then. Shamsiah sacrificed her life and limb to free Malaya through a path that was hers to choose. After she was expelled from the MCP, she stayed on in China and continued her life there working in a ball-bearing factory. She and her family finally returned to Malaysia on 23 July 1994 after the Peace Accords between the MCP and the Malaysian and Thai governments were signed in Haadyai, Thailand, in 1989. Upon her return home, she lived a moderate life in her old age with her children and grandchildren. She never regretted rising against the British and never regretted going into the jungle to join the Communist Party. She was grateful that her struggle had unsettled the colonisers.
She believed and was confident that the young generation who understood the true history of the country would be able to find their direction.
