The May 13 incident: another view
This makes me want to get the book and have another look.
The story behind the publishing of May 13″
I loved this line … “May 13″ isnt another fashionable pomo attempt at rewriting history. I cant speak for Dr. Kua or the rest of the Secretariat, but there is such a thing as objective truth.” ๐
While celebrating Mother’s day was “nice” today … but this incident was in some conversations this past week and has been lingering in my mind.
Me too!
u-liang – I’m happy the book is at an affordable price. While I don’t expect information to be free, but it must be accessible ๐
The book is with my mom. What a curious and interesting convergence of interests ๐
Bob K – wow .. you mean your mom actually got a copy for herself?
I bought it, she “kuasa” it first to read ๐
Then again, she was at the frontlines, so to speak. Back in 1969, she was a student at the Technical College which was just a few blocks away from Kampung Baru where a lot of the mobs mobilised from.
Bob K – now I understand it runs in the genes! That’s why you got a jumpstart in the womb?
