Site for contemporary Malaysian writing

the the BumbungThis is not a blog post. It’s an announcement.

A couple of friends and I have decided to set up a website to feature, publish and promote contemporary Malaysian writing.

We felt that a void existed in the literary scene in Malaysia and we hope that the site will become a channel for writers to publish their work (largely free from content censorship) and a focal point for readers looking for good quality Malaysian contemporary writing. It also hopes to serve as a channel for support and feedback to both aspiring and established writers.

You’ll find a full description of the site and our intentions here.

We are presently inviting submissions for publication. You are welcome to submit any written work you might like to see in “print” in the public domain. We would publish material on a variety of subject matter in both the English and Malay languages. Do visit the site if you feel you have something to contribute.

  1. had a look at the Bumbung. Nothing there yet, but it looks like it has great potential. Well done for initiating such a project.

    I have so much faith in you, your link icon is already up on my site. :-)
    good luck!

  2. Thank you for the vote of confidence. We all appreciate it.

    Do spread the word around - but more importantly, send in a submission! I’m sure you can do it!

    Fingers crossed - the Bumbung will look very good very soon.
