Dr Edwin has arranged a session with a famous writer Kee Thun Chye. First, I did not recognize the person that entering the hall was Kee Thuan Chye because he was just wearing simple attire. Actually, I was expecting him to wear expensive stuff. Whatever. As he started his speech, only God knows how I want to describe him. His speech was very inspiring as well as provocative to those who were listening to him. His speech contained a lot of metaphor whereby every single word that he uttered seemed to have underlying meaning.
He did not go straight to his “The Swordfish, Then the Concubine” because he wanted to save the best for the last. From his speech on his previous literary works, we knew that he wanted to warn us about the unhealthy political issues happened nowadays. Also, he had created awareness about the future of the country for the 20 to 100 years later whereby the truth was being kept as secret from the society.
Frankly speaking, an afternoon with Kee Thuan Chye has become an eye opener for me to start pointing out my point of views. I ought to share my knowledge with people and the most important thing is we have to speak the truth because the truth will not be revealed if we keep it as secret. In Anyway, I hope that I can see the other writes because I also want to hear the thoughts and their point of views as well.
