BOOK REVIEW – Malaysian Flavours
This is a compilation of articles published in the star newspaper. It is not a cook book as the title may suggest. It is an insight into Malaysian life styles on a variety of aspects such as :-
(a) Malaysian English - English spoken in the Malaysian way with uses of local dialects.
(b) Cross Cultural Encounters
(c) Observations of behaviors
(d) Malaysian names
(e) Yesteryear - lifestyle, food and games of the author’ childhood days.
The book captures through amusing asides and deft observations, the quires and idiosyncrasies of Malaysians.
Being a perankan, the author gives detailed description of the lifestyle of baba & nonya, a culture that is unique in Malaysian and it is vanishing fast in this fast paced modern world.
Lee Su Kim is currently Associate Professor of English at UKM, Bangi.
