LIfe is hectic, with people preoccupied with all that is modern and sophisticated, but lacking in cultural attachment. Life in the city is chaotic. Where are the retreats for discourse; for sharing of thoughts with the family: mother, father, husband, wife, and children?
The disappearance of these retreats are increasingly felt as relationships become weaker. Here, in these 100 Malay Proverbs, Siti Zainon recollects the flow of Malay thought that enriched our ancestors. Nature played a prominent part in their lives. Why do we not continue to heed its voice?
This book represents a treasury of wisdom for all. Siti Zainon aims to reawaken our consciousness to these jewels of tradition. In-sha-Allah (God willing.
