My Current Passion

updated: 18.12.2007
I'm glad, that this book accidently found me at the Singapore National library last week. Amazing work by Radzi Sapiee and inspirational journey, finding the path of truth on 'Islam Nusantara' that will remind the younger generation of their Islamic heritage. Visit his english blog to know more about the author and how to order your books at berpetualangkeaceh.blogspot.com

A Malay historical novel "Berpetualang ke Aceh: Mencari Diri dan Erti by Radzi Sapiee / ISBN 983-42031-0-1, Jun 2006" tell a story of a young man adventure in self-discovery that bring him through Malaysian states, part of Indonesia and Aceh. Exposing and uncovering "Kerajaan Islam Nusantara" of old, stories/histories related to Perlak, Samudera Pasai, Malacca, Johore, Petani and the existing sultanate states in Malaysia. This histories are purposely erased by Dutch and the English colonials to disunite and divide the spirit of  "Muslim Brotherhood in Nusantara" region then. Current histories are authored by 'West Orientalist' complies spectacle that interest them first, discrediting the once great "Islam Nusantara Empire". This is the first from a total three books. I will also get his second book "Berpetualang ke Aceh: Membela Syiar yang Asal by Radzi Sapiee / ISBN 983-42031-1-x, Mei 2007" and the third book "Berpetualang ke Aceh: Sirih Pulang ke Gagang? / ISBN 978-983-42031-2-2, November 2007"


I have not really experience much of life in Trengganu except for my yearly divecapade to Pulau Perhentian. I am a fan of "Awang Goneng Blog" about Trengganu. And he just launch a book base on his blog writing. I miss a 'meet-up session with Awang Goneng' at Singapore Writers Festival 2007, but manage to get my copy at Earshot Café/Bookshop on the ground floor of The Arts House, Singapore. You may place your order on-line from Kinokuniya or MPH

Growing Up in Trengganu (GUiT) started life as the much-celebrated blog of Awang Goneng (the pseudonym of Malaysia’s most-respected journalist in London, Wan Hulaimi). Through a collection of memories retold in glorious colour, he evokes the pleasures of a kampung childhood for the benefit of new generations brought up in air-conditioned condominiums. Listen to the azan call to prayer from the surau of  Haji Mat Kerinci, order satay with toast for breakfast, meet notables such as Tun Long the laundry man and Cik Wook Payong Löcöh, whose umbrella turned inside-out in a storm, and relive the pleasure of hearing the rain hammer down on a corrugated iron roof while reading the Beano and eating kueh putu. Sultans, sweetmeat sellers and shopkeepers all act as springboards as you meander through Trengganu history, and by the end of this book you will have painlessly mastered the ‘Trengganuspeak’.

As US forces shift tactics on the ground in Iraq, can the Bush Administration's new strategy to engage Arab media win the battle for hearts and minds?

Directed by Ian Inaba, American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of voter disenfranchisement witnessed from 2000 to 2004. Told through the life of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney who took an active role investigating the scrubbing of the Florida voter roles and then found herself in her own election debacle after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the terrorist attacks of 9-11. American Blackout travels from Florida to Georgia to Ohio examining the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence political dissent.


Nicely directed by Davis Guggenheim with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share.


The biography " The Reluctant Politician, Tun Dr Ismail and His Time " of my favourite Malaysia’s Home Affairs Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman, who passed away of a heart attack on 2 August 1973 at the age of 58. It is based on his private papers and on numerous interviews with his relatives and with people who knew him well, including Ghafar Baba, Musa Hitam, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Robert Kuok, Lee Kuan Yew and Ghazalie Shafie. New perspectives are provided about the struggle for independence, Malaysia’s relationship with Singapore, the origins of Southeast Asian regionalism, the internal conflicts of the ruling party UMNO, MCA-UMNO ties, the fatal illness of Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, the May 13 riots, and the New Economic Policy. This book contains not only new facts about Malaysian and Singaporean history, but also insights into the general processes of decolonization and nation building.


Meet BLACKWATER USA, the world's most secretive and powerful mercenary firm. Based in the wilderness of North Carolina, it is the fastest-growing private army on the planet with forces capable of carrying out regime change throughout the world. Blackwater protects the top US officials in Iraq and yet we know almost nothing about the firm's quasi-military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and inside the US. Blackwater was founded by an extreme right-wing fundamentalist Christian mega-millionaire ex- Navy Seal named Erik Prince, the scion of a wealthy conservative family that bankrolls far-right-wing causes. Blackwater is the dark story of the rise of a powerful mercenary army, ranging from the blood-soaked streets of Fallujah to rooftop firefights in Najaf to the hurricane-ravaged US gulf to Washington DC, where Blackwater executives are hailed as new heroes in the war on terror. This is an extraordinary exposé by one of America's most exciting young radical journalists.

I watch this award winning documentary by fellow journalist William Nessen, "The Black Road - Inside Aceh's Struggle for Independence" which was banned from the 8th Jakarta International Film Festival (JiFFest) in November 2006. An amazing testimony about the war in Aceh before the peace agreement. Watch the lives (and deaths) of Aceh’s guerrillas, its human rights activists and its ordinary farmers. March with the demonstrators and witness the ensuing massacres. This 52-minute documentary is a must for anyone interested in and concerned with Aceh.


Seems that I can't put down this book about Sheikh Sharafuddin Maneri /India/1346-47. He wrote an outline of the Sufi Path to God in the form of a hundred letters to a disciple. This collection quickly became well known and has been translated as
"In Quest of God: Maneri's Second Collection of 150 Letters". In 1368 a disciple collected all the letters he could find of Maneri’s replies written to various individuals. The letters offer spiritual and religious guidance and encouragement and serve as a complement to the earlier book, a more general collection.


The Journey of the Soul: Story of Hai Bin Yaqzan is a truly remarkable product of 12th century Moorish Spain. Professor Philip Hitti, in his History of the Arabs, characterizes the work as ‘one of the most delightful and original in the literature of the Middle Ages’. It is widely regarded as the prototype for Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. Best described, perhaps, as a philosophical romance, it tells the story of a young man, cast upon a deserted island as an infant, suckled and reared by a doe, who succeeds by his own efforts in fitting himself for life in his natural environment. The author, Ibn Tufail, was one of the outstanding philosophers and scientists of his day and hence many strands are woven into fabrics of the tale: Hai’s physiology, on the process of evolution, on the ‘scientific method’ all find their places in knowledge which his observation and intuition combine to produce. Above all, the book is an allegory of the path towards enlightenment.
