Book Review –Azmi Sharom's Brave New World

by S.Thayaparan

http://www.malaysiakini.com

"A great writer creates a world of his own and his readers are proud to live in it. A lesser writer may entice them in for a moment, but soon he will watch them filing out."― Cyril Connolly

He has Brains, Values, and Guts

COMMENT: I have often wondered why Azmi Sharom chose 'Brave New World' from the Aldous Huxley novel of the same name as the title of his column for The Star. As one critic observed, Huxley's novel was a rejection of the 'Age of Utopias'.

Anyone reading Azmi's columns would note the undisguised optimism permeating from his writings even when he is engaged in dissecting the foibles of the authorities. This last part in my experience has been a rancorous endeavour.

Some readers perhaps unaware of the pedigree of the title would assume that Azmi is writing about a possible new world of hope. What Malaysia could be instead of what it is? I do not subscribe to this point of view.

Perhaps the title is a sly reference to the propaganda that infects every aspect of our beloved country. Perhaps, Malaysia as a post-colonial construct with its social contract, Petronas ads, National Harmony Act, Bangsa Malaysia and the host of other dystopian tropes is the so-called Utopia we are told we are living in but in reality a dystopia ripe for mockery by men and women driven by conscience.

Azmi is currently facing sedition charges for giving his opinion on the Perak constitutional (sic) crisis. Only in Malaysia would a law professor be charged with sedition for giving his academic opinion on a legal matter. That is not exactly true. There are many countries in the world run by venal cabals, who would persecute those who dare to speak the truth to power but Malaysia, Truly bumbling Asia, which has always flirted with tin pot dictatorship status, seems intent on emulating what the minions learned on their "lawatan sambil belajar" jaunts to who knows where.

Reading the compilations of articles, one can't help but be amused by Azmi's cheeky pop cultural references, which reads like a middle finger to those corrupt forces that inhabit our political landscape.

Writing on PAS's dissolution of its Pakatan Rakyat marriage, 'An identity crisis for PAS', Azmi references extend from the Beatles to the Clash (of Civilisation) and in a memorable sentence compares PAS's changing identities to David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust phase. How wonderful.

This subtext provides fuel to his opponents that label him as a "Malay" traitor or anti-Muslim. Referencing these Western cultural touchstones, ideas such as music and the fraternity, rebellion and fleeting freedom that comes with it, the very concepts that are anathema to the religious mullahs intent on imposing group think on the Malay and eventually the Malaysian polity. Azmi reminds them, albeit subtly, that public spaces however confined are still being used by some Malaysians to speak the truth to power.In other words, Azmi has no problem rocking the Kasbah.

Without guile, he writes, "I suppose there was a certain naiveté amongst some people (myself included) regarding the character of PAS. Over the last eight years or so, there was a belief that PAS had changed. It was modernist and inclusive, and had moved away from its insular and traditionalist past. Wrong, sadly very wrong. "KeADILan untuk Semua" (PAS 2008) is pure and unadulterated bumkum and Abdul Hadi is a fraud.

"This view was encouraged by certain individual PAS leaders whose eloquence and forward-thinking attitudes made one believe that there were more similarities between PAS and their partners than differences. Hence, a viable coalition opposition (and perhaps a viable new federal government) was a real possibility. How exciting it all seemed."

And this is what is interesting about this compilation of articles. Azmi has no problem retreating from certain positions, recalibrating his views as the facts change and acknowledging that the sometimes very fallible Malaysian yearnings for a better tomorrow are misplaced. It was John Maynard Keynes who said "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?". Why should Azmi be an exception, then.

Furthermore, unlike some columnists who waffle around principles either out of fear or out of sycophancy, Azmi Sharom is not afraid to lay his cards on the table.

In 'Freedom of religion and fear mongering', he states – "I believe in freedom of religion. Completely. This means that I believe in the right of people to practice their religion as they see fit and this includes their right to proselytise." But he also acknowledges that "That is my belief and as far as Malaysia is concerned it amounts to little more than a hill of beans. In our country there is no complete freedom of religion.

"The Constitution guarantees the freedom of everyone to choose their religion and the Supreme Court has confirmed this, but yet, the practice of the state governments does not respect this. If you are a Muslim and you convert out of Islam, in some states you can and will be punished.

"The Constitution also allows the control of proselytising. No person can proselytise to Muslims if the state government makes the necessary laws to control such actions. This includes Muslim to Muslim proselytising. This is the reality in our country."

This is the toxic reality that someone like Azmi finds himself exploring. Just how toxic? In 'Suffer the children … of some', a short fictional piece on the angst of holiday making amongst the political elite in times of financial turmoil, Azmi ends with this postscript:

"When we the people of Malaysia were experiencing hardship due to the rising petrol costs, the BN government in all their wisdom suggested that ministers could only holiday in the region and not further afield. This is so that they would suffer along with the rest of us. I shit you not."

We are living in an era, were words do not matter. Unfortunately, for Azmi Sharom, the Umno state has proven that words matter. This book like his spurious sedition charge is evidence that the UMNO state is terribly afraid of words. They are afraid that words matter and that eventually more people would like to inhabit the world Azmi would like Malaysia to be, a sentiment which sometimes escapes because of enthusiasm and passion.

If you believe that words matter and you are interested in another greatest hits collection from a Malaysian with a certain point of view, then Azmi's book will serve an interesting guide in Malaysian politics. For me, personally, just reading his book, knowing that he causes so much discomfort to the fascists, fearmongers and inept bumbling kleptocrats out there, is worth the price of the book.

Mesejabdul
Bimasakti Menari adalah sebuah karya yang mengisahkan tentang pemeliharaan alam sekitar khususnya untuk menangani pencemaran cahaya. Sebagai seorang pencinta alam, saya berasa teruja untuk membaca buah tangan penulis kali ini selepas dikecewakan dengan Impuls/Roh. Tahniah kepada penulis kerana membuka pandangan pembaca tentang kepentingan menjaga kelestarian alam daripada tangan-tangan yang merosakkan dengan tujuan pembangunan.

Kau Ilhamku
Novel ini berkisar tentang Nurul Hafsa, seorang gadis graduan Universiti Jordan di dalam bidang Astronomi dan Kaji Falak. bertugas di Balai Cerap Kuala Selangor sebaik sahaja menamatkan pengajian. Nurul Hafsa pada hari pertama bekerja telah mengecewakan pelancong kanak-kanak dari Jepun yang berkunjung ke Balai Cerap semata-mata untuk menyaksikan bintang-bintang indah yang membentuk buruj di langit.beliau merasa mengecewakan para cilik tersebut kerana bintang yang diharapkan tidak muncul kerana disembunyikan langit yang terlalu terang dek PENCEMARAN CAHAYA yang berlaku di Kuala Selangor
Pendapat saya, ini adalah tema unggul buku ini yang ingin diangkat penulis. PENCEMARAN CAHAYA. tema yang sangat unik dan jarang dicuba oleh penulis lain. tidak hairan Sri Rahayu berjaya menggondol tempat pertama dalam Hadiah Sastera Kumpulan Utusan untuk buku ini.

Five Banned <b>Novels</b>, in Moderate <b>Malaysia</b> - World Public Forum - Blog Novel Malaysia


Five Banned <b>Novels</b>, in Moderate <b>Malaysia</b> - World Public Forum

Posted: 18 Nov 2015 10:19 PM PST

By Mohd Faizal Musa

I started writing at the age of 16 years old and got to publish my first novel at the age of 19. I won many prestigious literary awards in Malaysia. My pen name is Faisal Tehrani. However in 2010, everything flip over. From a poster boy of Malay literature, I become the most marginalized author. What really happened? Thinking I am a Shia adherent, the Shia community that is badly oppressed in my country asked me assistance. Since then I became an accidental human rights defender. I got my human rights training in Geneva, and Dublin. My views change dramatically from being a Cultural Relativist to a Universalist. I switched camp. In 2012, the current Prime Minister launched my novel, Perempuan Nan Bercinta (The Beloved Lady). In 2014, it was banned by Malaysia's Home Ministry, citing reason "likely to be prejudicial to public order". In 2015, four more books written by myself were banned. All together five. To illustrate how bad this is, four works by Nadine Gordimer, the recipient of the 1991 Nobel Prize in Literature were banned under apartheid.

But Malaysia is not under apartheid. In fact, President Obama visiting Malaysia this week believes that Malaysia is a moderate Islamic country. Off course, he does. On 9th September 2006, the Prime Minister stated that his administration is to uphold Article 27 The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR 1948). He pronounced this during a human rights conference in conjunction with Malaysian Human Rights Day 2006. What is Article 27 UDHR 1948? It states that: 'Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits. And; everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author'.

It means me, and you; all of us have our right to participate in cultural life. It means me, and you; all of us can craft and create our own artistic products, to enjoy it, to share it and the authorities cannot take away the right from us, and must provide full protection.

The banning is under Section 7(1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984. The ban was also in accordance with Section 7(1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984. According to subsection 2 of section 8 of the Act, anyone found to have printed, imported, sold and in possession of the banned books in the country, can be jailed not more than three years or fined not exceeding RM20,000, or both.

Generally, a quick surf online will point out that my works are loaded with Shi'ism. The truth is, I supported freedom of religion. I am against 'institutionalized Islam' in Malaysia. I am against the idea to impose Sharia law. I am against Wahabization (Salafization) of Malaysia. Thus I am banned for being secular.

The Arabisation and intrusions on a person's personal life are growing in my country. Salafists are working overnight. Fear is in the air. 

The banning of my books is not just about me. It is a betrayal of 1957's Proclamation of Independence that guarantees the constitution as the supreme law. Books banning in Malaysia is among others symptoms of defeat for the Federal Constitution. Since it is made "to safeguard the fundamental rights and liberties of the people" under "constitutional monarchy based on Parliamentary democracy". Books banning in Malaysia is among others, a sign of increasing extremism globally, the kind of extremism that stifling and violating the rights of people. It is another kind of terror. Another kind of bombing. I am, another casualty of war.

My 23rd novel, Bagaimana Anyss Naik Ke Langit (How Anyss Flew to Heaven) focus on the suffering of Penan, the indigenous people of Malaysia, in the state of Sarawak.  Although not being banned, yet, bookstores are refusing to sell it. This commercial censorship proves that fear is creeping effectively.

It is so lonely to be ban. Nobody invites you to the poetry readings anymore. Your key books are suddenly not being available on the book shelves. It is so lonely that even latest Human Rights Watch report on freedom of expression in Malaysia entitle 'Creating a Culture of Fear' fails to notice my struggle.

But hear me loud. I will not be vanquish. I will be publish. I will fight for my rights, and I do believe literature is the vehicle to voice out the rights of the people. This is a war between Wahabist and the rest of the world. I still have faith in literature, and in this war imposed by these extremists, words and stories have proven to be the real weapon to fight back. For that, I will write more, sorry, no back off. No turning back.

However, the literary elites of the world, have no interest of our rich culture and tradition. We are literary small. Second, will the rest of the world believe me? Internationally Malaysia is considered a moderate Islamic country.  How come, religious establishment of Malaysia is terrorising a novelist? Malaysia is not under apartheid, I am no Nadine Gordimer. So how come five novels are banned?  

And after all, President Obama, the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize awardee is back in Malaysia. Will he read my novels?

* Dr Mohd Faizal Musa (Faisal Tehrani) is Research Fellow at the Institute of the Malay World and Civilization, National University of Malaysia. He is a well-known author in Malaysia, with five of his 23 literary works were banned by the Malaysian government.
