Kee Thuan Chye

Have you ever read a play entitled ‘the swordfish, then the concubine’? No?? Yes?? If yes, you may know the name that I have mentioned above, Mr. Kee Thuan Chye. My lecturer has kindly set a date for us to meet this famous writer at DK,FPP. It is a great opportunity for me to meet such a great man like him. I have read and learn the play before and I really, really like it. Maybe it is due to the issue that Kee Thuan Chye raised in the play which is very close to us. Furthermore, he use simple language and it’s easy for me to understand. He talks about current issues that happen in Malaysia and also critiques political situation here in that play. My lecturer brought him here to upm because we studied his play so it’s an opportunity for us to meet him and ask whatever we want regarding the play that we learn. It was good having him with us talking about his experiences from his childhood until he becomes what he is right now. What can I say is that, it’s not easy to achieve what we want in life and same goes to Kee Thuan Chye. He has faced many difficulties in his life but he successfully go through all the obstacles. I hope I can be as strong as him in my life and achieve all my dreams. Mr. Kee Thuan Chye, it’s good to have you giving your talk and talking about your play. Your play is superb and I really like your style of writing.
