Narratives From Piyamit: Life Stories at the End of the Revolution
Authors: Jason Ng Sze Chieh & Murray Hunter

This is the story of 12 young people, born in the even younger nation of Malaysia, told from their homes today in southern Thailand - who left the comfort of home to join the Communist movement between the late sixties to mid-seventies, against the backdrop of the New Economic Policy, the racial violence of the May 13 incident, and the so-called Communist Insurgency in Malaysia from 1968 to 1989.

We are looking for manuscripts focusing on feminism and women’s issues. Submissions that look at the Malaysian context are highly welcome in English, Malay, and Mandarin.

I wish there were no need for a separate chapter for 'women'... if women and men had been fully integrated within the Malaysian intellectual community. But that was not the case in the 1970s, when the intellectual scene was a male-dominated one.

PRESS STATEMENT FROM ENGAGE
Dated : 30 September 2024

SHOW OUR SOLIDARITY WITH CLARE REWCASTLE-BROWN BY DONATING TO HER

ENGAGE expresses deep disappointment that Clare Rewcastle-Brown's application to overturn the RM300,000 defamation damages awarded to the Sultanah of Terengganu has been rejected by the Federal Court on 10 September. This decision in finding Clare liable for defamation over a mistaken identity error that had been corrected and that does not imply any wrongdoing on the Sultanah, sends a chilling message to investigative journalists who exposes corruption that they will not be protected in Malaysia.

As a result of this decision, Clare and two local businesses who published and printed her book, Gerakbudaya and Vinlin Press, will have to pay damages and costs to the Sultanah to the tune of RM300,000 damages, RM135,000 costs and other incidentals (taxes and interests) bringing the total to RM455,400. So far, the amount raised by Clare in the UK and by ENGAGE through Freedom Fund 2.0 is RM305,667. As such, the shortfall is RM149,733, round-off to RM150,000.

On behalf of Clare and the two local businesses, we want to appeal again to the Malaysian public to show our solidarity with them and to express our gratitude to their bravery in exposing the 1MDB scandal. Clare's investigation into the scheme, as detailed in her book The Sarawak Report: The Inside Story of the 1MDB Exposé, to defraud the Malaysian public of US$4.5 billion by fugitive Jho low and convicted former Prime Minister Najib Razak, has led to the downfall of Najib's government and his incarceration today. This would never have happened without Clare's work.
Please donate generously to this ENGAGE's bank account. We will give regular updates on our page (facebook.com/engage.my) on the status of the collection for Clare and the two businesses.

Name : Engage Citizen Network PLT
Bank : Maybank
Account : 5512 7609 7331
Remark : Clare

On behalf of Clare, Gerakbudaya and Vinlee Press, we thank all who have donated previously and those will be donating this time. We urge you to verify the information and bank details given by visiting Clare's blog (https://www.sarawakreport.org/2024/09/keep-malaysias-independent-publishers-in-business/) and Googling about ENGAGE and Freedom Fund 2.0.

In solidarity,
Executive Committee of ENGAGE

Islam & Economics: A Primer on Markets, Morality, and Justice
Author: Dr Ali Salman

“Ali Salman’s Islam & Economics is a creative contribution to our understanding of the foundations of what has come to be known as the discipline of Islamic economics. Salman provides a sober perspective on the relevance of Islam to our contemporary economy, while avoiding a dogmatic and utopian position. He provides a well-argued account as to how a serious reflection on Islamic principles, derived from primary sources, would make a case for economic liberty, thus enabling a critique of both vulgar capitalism and authoritarian socialism.”

Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, National University of Singapore
