Kee Thuan Chye was our guest yesterday.He was barred from one place in Penang, yah?
But our Dept has always been open to all sorts of writers and speakers. I was late (biz as usual with IWFF etc) but made it to the Q&A (Prof Quayum was kind enough to remind me).I thought some questions were really good (on secular state vs theoractic state) And these were undergrads ~ being so critical and involved.When Q asked me if it were OK to invite Kee to read his book Ask for no bullshit, get some more!, I said why not.We cannot be overly protective of the students.They are intelligent enough to take care of themselves.Kee did say my bullshit is my own..you can disagree. :)
It was a nice session although the topic given was strictly on his plays and life as a writer.
