Students, UBD lecturers, writers and Malay literature enthusiasts were among the audience of the talk held at Dewan Sarmayuda DBP.
The paper, Dinamika Pemikiran Sastera Melayu was written and delivered by Prof Dr Ungku Maimunah bte Mohd Tahir of Malaysia.

After a hard day's work, what else other than makan. DBP staff and guests enjoy the dinner buffet.
I was at Dewan Bahasa this afternoon attending the Series Lecture on Comparative Malay Literature organized by Brunei MASTERA. (Majlis Sastera Asia Tenggara).
The regional cooperation brought Malay scholars from member countries Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia) and ASEAN to deliver certain topics of the regional interest. The yearly activity is to open up the intellectual dialog on Malay literature among writers, researchers and literature enthusiasts. This is 12th year of the same project format which started in 1997.
The topic was Dinamika Pemikiran Sastera Melayu. It was a thought-provoking lecture discussing on the “realism”and “modernism” in Malay literature. For more than 150 years people accepted Munsyi Abdullah as the father of modern Malay literature. This is not so since the concept of “realism” and “modernism” were based on the western outlook which had no Islamic soul. The new generation of critics thought that there should be what is called Persuratan Baru.
