<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">While still in his 30s, Dr. Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, former Mufti of Perlis, earned a reputation as a popular, and sometimes controversial, public intellectual on the subject of Islam in Malaysia.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This collection of his articles seeks to identify and celebrate the true Islamic essence of simplicity, rationality and justice; and to separate it from superstition, prejudice and taklid (blind adherence) to self- serving 'religious' leaders.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Told in a forthright style, but spiced with wit and contemporary allusions, it takes many examples from the Quran and Sunnah to show that it is up to Muslims to rescue their faith from being dominated merely by reactionary and conservative forces.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Among the subjects in this book:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">* Are music and entertainment allowed in Islam?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">* Why must long-distance bus drivers be discouraged from fasting?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">* Are non-Muslims allowed to enter mosques?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">* Did the Prophet Nuh pass to us a recipe for porridge?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">* Why are some P. Ramlee lyrics more Islamic than contemporary nasyid songs?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, serif;"><b><span style="background-color: white;">Orang Macam Kita</span></b><span style="background-color: white;"> ialah sebuah antologi cerpen dan esei mengenai seksualiti alternatif di Malaysia</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;">. S</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: white;">eksualiti alternatif boleh diertikan sebagai homoseksual, biseksual, transeksual, transgender dan dwikelamin. Ini termasuklah gay, lesbian, tomboy, mak nyah dan khunsa. Label-label sebegini mungkin tampak sensasi atau </span><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">klinikal</span></span><span style="background-color: white;">. Namun cerita-cerita dan kajian-kajian di dalam buku ini mungkin mendedahkan sisi lain, yakni sisi alternatif, daripada tanggapan yang sedia ada. </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Times, serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b><span style="background-color: white;">Orang Macam Kita</span></b></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: white;"> memuatkan 25 karya dengan gaya dan pendekatan yang berbeza-beza: kisah cinta dan penerimaan yang mencuit, cerita pendedahan yang dramatik, kajian mengenai media, sastera dan filem; dan ada yang melayang jauh ke alam surreal. Kepelbagaian ini turut diraikan; tepuk dada tanyalah selera!</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><b>NEW MALAYSIAN ESSAYS 3</b> breaks from the norm by being released only as a free e-book! Take notes while Wong Chin Huat teaches you how to become a good demonstrator; take in the conflicted sweep of post-1969 cultural policy with Simon Soon; take a tour of the non-heterosexist nation that Clarissa Lee imagines from Merdeka to the present; and take stock of the situation of Peninsular Malaysia's indigenous people with Mor Ajani. We end with Sumitra Visvanathan inviting us to take refugees into our definition of what 'Malaysia, Truly Asia' could possibly be.</span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">120 Malay Movies</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> is a romp through the films that were made in Singapore and then in Kuala Lumpur from 1948 to 1972. (120 represents about a third of all Malay-language films during that period, and this book features most of the famous titles as well as some overlooked gems.) Malaysian writer and filmmaker Amir Muhammad watched them in chronological order and responds to the stories in his own contemporary context. How was the world depicted in those films different from the one we live in today? This book is a serio-comic interrogation into how the iconic fantasies of the past might have unexpected reverberations in the present. <i>The Introduction can be downloaded </i></span><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/36380911/Intro-to-120-Malay-Movies"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><i>here</i></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><i>.</i></span><br />

Farish A. Noor might just be Malaysia's hippest intellectual. His gifts are on full display in these expanded versions of public lectures that he delivered at The Annexe Gallery, Central Market Kuala Lumpur in 2008 and 2009. Find out how 'racial difference' became such a big deal in Malaysia, and contrast this against the way our distant ancestors lived. Discover the hidden stories of the keris, Hang Tuah and PAS. There's also quite a bit of sex. Erudite, impassioned and sometimes plain naughty, <b>What Your Teacher Didn't Tell You </b>is a stimulating plunge into aspects of our past that have been kept from us. There's even a bonus chapter! <span style="font-style: italic;">Illustrated with dozens of sepia-toned photographs, many from the author's collection of antiques. Printed on 100% recycled paper.<br />

Yasmin Ahmad left a vibrant legacy, and it is still strange to talk about her in the past tense. In order to deal with his grief, Amir Muhammad, fellow Malaysian filmmaker and friend, watched anew her six feature-length films (</span><span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">Rabun</span><span style="font-size: 130%;">, </span><span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">Sepet</span><span style="font-size: 130%;">,</span><span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"> Gubra</span><span style="font-size: 130%;">, </span><span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">Mukhsin</span><span style="font-size: 130%;">, </span><span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">Muallaf</span><span style="font-size: 130%;"> and </span><span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">Talentime</span><span style="font-size: 130%;">), as well as several of her most popular commercials. Neither an obituary nor a conventional work of film criticism, this book was written just a month after her funeral and is Amir's personal look at the stories, but with quite a few tangents of his own. Chatty and informative, </span><span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">Yasmin Ahmad's Films </span><span style="font-size: 130%;">can be devoured not only by established fans but newcomers to her work. It is also a tribute to one of Malaysia's most amazing daughters. <i>All the writer's royalties from the first edition will be donated to the Mercy - Yasmin Ahmad Fund for Children.</i><br />

Seemingly transient and anonymous, but never lonely, the space of a taxi might be the ideal place for both passenger and driver to ponder the world that is literally passing by. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Taxi Tales on a Crooked Bridge</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> is a quirky, lively and often surprising book that also incorporates many photographs.
