Gedung Kuning: Memories of a Malay Childhood

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of my first book, a revised edition of 'Gedung Kuning: Memories of a Malay Childhood' was recently published. This is the book that started my writing adventure...

“This book is more than a reminiscence of what it means to be raised in a particular ethnic group in Singapore. It shows us the unique features of an especially historic neighbourhood, the evolution of a Singaporean identity in which specific values are shared by all, and how important aspects of that identity have been preserved in words and pictures.”
