may 13, 1976 - “Requiem”
‒ Ee Tiang Hong
[Poetry]
Description:
This poet expresses his loss after the tragedy of May 13 by commenting on the event itself as a reality that had occurred whether or not people know about it. He is also concerned about the racial gap that led to the tragedy and realised that politics of history hinders the prevalence of goodness and justice (Singh, 2009).
