National Laureate Datuk A Samad Said is the epitome of a master communicator. His magnificent use of our national language serves to remind us of how beautiful it is. The prolific writer and poet speaks to Anandhi Gopinath about the highs and lows of his long journey in the arts.
Attending government school in the s and s meant some amount of exposure to the poetic works of National Laureate Datuk A Samad Said. Upon reading his works as an adult, I wished that I had read more of them in school, when circumstances not only permitted but encouraged it.
Poignant and arresting, the sheer poetry in Samad’s writing, not to mention his magnificent use of Bahasa Malaysia, reminds us what a beautiful language we have and how evocative it can be.
Samad definitely looks the part of writer and poet. Small and slim, his eyes twinkle cheerfully behind round, wire-rimmed eyeglasses and his long fingers grip a rather artsy cloth bag, containing a few of his books for me. He is most recognisable by his long hair, which grows in straight white wisps that reach down to his shoulders. His facial hair joins its brethren, flowing elegantly to his chest and moving slightly as he talks. Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle comes to mind. But as much as I think he will appreciate the humour
