I have just heard Rehman Rashid has suffered a heart attack in Rawang. Coincidentally this afternoon I brought his latest book 'Peninsula - a history of Malaysia' in which I learnt this prominent Journalist was sacked in 2003 by you know who because Rashid refused to continue writing speeches for you know who.
I look forward to reading his story.
A lonely man and perhaps who don't care much about his religion. Sincerely, I don't find his writes interesting. Not like "The Kite Runner" - about the beautiful heavenly Afghanistan, the constitutional monarchy, the republic, the Russians, the Talibans, the Americans, and the regrets, the pains, and the loneliness... and you wanting for a sequel.
ReplyDeleteKite Runner is about the Afghans' fave activity, sodomy wakakaka
ReplyDeleteNope.. Hassan was once raped by one mad Assef.. that's about the only thing about sodomy. Just curious.. have read the book? Even Barrack Obama did.
DeleteA longish moderation indeed? Wakakaka..
DeleteVery liberal, oops, in their ways, both Rehman n Rafique. Hope he gets well soon.
ReplyDeleteThe later day Rehman is not the same one who wrote A Malaysian Journey.
ReplyDeleteWakakakaka...One of the reason why he didn't continue writing speeches for that mamak was mamak didn't agree to give his blessings for him to wed his favourite daughter.
In fact sodomy IS/was fave activity of the ummat, not just Afghans! There were/r tons of literature, facts & or fiction, about this activity - try Leon Uris' The Haj.
Oooop KT doesn't like Jews, especially Zion writer!
I like Noam Chomsky. Woody Allen, Billy Cristyl, the late Robin Williams
DeleteWalau-eh... can't u distinguish between ordinaru Jews & Zionists???
DeleteRead what you wrote. Did you exclude non Zionist Jews
Deletei thot kite runner is kind of confession? confession is more like a western thingy, from christinity to rousseau etc. chinese rarely have literature on confession, victimhood complex many, perhaps bajin the only one? sorry not familiar with muslim work, i suggest hasan write one, on behalf of najib wakaka.
