MY COLLECTION OF POEMS

My poetry book, a collection of poems with Spanish translation is out on July 16th 2012. The book was first published in 2010 by Institute of Translation Malaysia (ITNM) with original work in Malay (Bahasa Melayu) and English translation.

Here's the poem that give its tittle Facing the Habour:

How it disturb me

every time I face the harbour lights

they are the lights of our boundary

reminding us nobody can live without a name

and loyalty to a country

But no body can choose his own name

or the country to be born in

Spanish version:

Como me molesta

cada vez que veo les luces del puerto

son les luces de nuestras fronteras

que nos recuerdan que nadie puede vivir sin un nombre

ni lealtad a un pais

pero nadie puede escoger su nombre

ni el pais en el que ha de nacer
