‘Haunting The Tiger’ remembered

IT is with great sadness that I read about the passing of KS Maniam (file pic 2010). To me, his passing seems to be like the drawing of the curtain on all that is great on the stage of post-colonial literature written by Malaysians in English.

I am no Amir Muhammad, hence I would not dare try to write a fitting tribute to such a great Malaysian writer as Maniam. All I can do is paint with a few brush strokes how the man and his work have left an indelible imprint on my life.
