may 11, 1960 - “Song of a Young Malayan” ‒ Ee Tiang Hong [Poetry]
Description:
This poem talks about one’s sense of national identity as a Malayan. The poet tries to avoid imitation of English poetry by localising the context and exhibits his own preferences about music and stresses that one’s opinion on certain things may vary as it does not necessarily has to be influenced by the Westerners.Added to timeline:
