Why Malaysian Literature? ( Wong Phui Nam)
Wong Phui Nam is one of the most prominent writers we have today. He received his early education at two Chinese schools in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown. He later joined the Batu Road School and from there went to the Victoria Institute in 1949. Even at an early stage, Phui Nam displayed a propensity for writing. However, he was conflicted with regards to the language he chooses as the main medium for his writing.
This blog will provide a brief and concise view of this particular aspect of Phui Nam’s writing persona- the writer who feels a sense of displacement from the place he calls home.
