BOOKS BY MALAYSIANS

This is a fun piece that my son did on my. Having taught a group of young children creative writing, I suggested to them to interview their parents and write something about them. After writing their essays, I helped to improve on their style of writing. Here is a piece done by my 12-year-old son on me ...  Operating on Both Sides of the Brain By Shaun Ng 4 December 2020   Not many people can operate on both left and right brain at the same time.          The example of Stephen Ng, a chemist-turned-media consultant is an interesting story.          The father of two, aged 56, said that since young, he realised that he could use a pair of scissors with both right and left hands.          “I always believe that one can operate on both sides of the brain at different times,” he said, referring to the theory of left- and right-brained dominance.          “I can be both analytical and methodical in my thinking as well as being creative or artistic, if I want to. It is import

  I have written a number of books. Some of these books are still sold in the bookshops; others are already out of print.           Some books, especially the biographies, are written for people whose families prefer not to make the books available to the general public.           "God loved my father" is one of the first books that I wrote. It tells the story of how my father suffered from cancer of the lungs. This was published back in 1998.           Later, I was approached to put together another book, "True Malaysian Ghost Stories." The publisher collected stories from people across the country. Most of these stories were put together by people who were not writers. I had to type the story and re-write everything. I did this job for only RM500! It was just for the experience of producing a book. Because I was still working full time, I did not want to use my name on the book.           A biography of one gentleman from Kerala, India was commissioned by his fami

  A Grieving Heart is Most Loved  By Dr Li Sze Chow, PhD @RM25 per copy + Courier Charges  Available from her directly  lisze.chow@gmail.com  When I first encouraged Li Sze Chow to write her story, it was at least four years ago.            She shared her story during a class session. We were fellow students doing our theological education part time.           It was a very touching story about the ordeals that she had gone through in life.           About a year later, I asked her again about her book. There was some progress, she said, but the book wasn't to be out any time soon.           Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised when one morning I received a whatsapp letting me know that her book is already published. I immediatley placed an order. When it arrived about a week later, I was delighted to read the book.           Her style of writing makes the book very easy to read. Although busy with work, I find that I can finish a few chapters easily. I believe I can finish this b

Where is Pastor Raymond Koh? @RM35 per copy + Courier Services (see footnote) Weight per book: 280 gram Available from Stephen.Ng.EJ@gmail.com Pastor Raymond Koh Keng Joo had no idea what he saw that day would change the course of his life. His heart was broken when he saw youths were loitering near the Checkers mini-market without a direction in life. The neighbourhood of Taman Sri Sentonsa, a mixed residential development located at the outskirt of the city of Kuala Lumpur, was a poor to middle-income suburb. Filled with a strong compassion for these school children, he later left his pastoral work to set up Harapan Komuniti to help the marginalised community in Malaysia. While he and his volunteers worked at helping the marginalised youths, something sinister was brewing. The simple yet meaningful Thanksgiving dinner which volunteers of Harapan Komuniti organised on August 3, 2011 was raided. Two weeks later on August 26, he received a death threat.
