WONG PHUI NAM
He can be categorized as a popular writer in Malaysia. The opportunity to meet him is the best part of my life. He was soft as his poems and a kind person. He teaches us how to read poems with feelings. In my opinion this is a very good knowledge because all this days, I just read poems with no feelings. I cannot put myself in the poet world as I read his or her poems. He makes me realize that poem is something that full of secret. It represents all feelings of the poet. I feel like writing a poem after I met him. For me, poems can release my feelings and tension using those words and sentences. I think everybody can write poems. The different is only between they are good or not. The way we write it is depends on us as a writer. How we want to convey our feelings, dissatisfaction or etc.
He also a writer of plays. His play represents our culture and roots. Just like in Anike, he represent a little bit of western and eastern culture. He combined it with feelings, thought and attitudes through the characters in the play. He make the changes slowly and unrealized by the audiences. In my view, this is a good technique as those days, theatre were not as popular as this days. Malaysians people see theatre as an English culture and Mr. Wong has changed it slowly with the combination of those two cultures. As the whole, he is one of the best writers in Malaysia and can be considered as good as other writer in the world.
