Pak Habib Strikes Again


Syed Hussein Alattas, or Pak Habib as he is fondly known, is a Malaysian institution, having written no less than 40 books. That is more than most Malaysians ever read. Prime Minister Mahathir once enviously asked how long it took him to write a book, and Pak Habib promptly replied, Two weeks! and then added, At most!


"Some say Hussein is a rascal who unfairly maligns prominent people. He retorts: “I don’t write about ministers who behave themselves. I write about people who don’t know how to behave.” When Syed Hussien Alattas starts to write, Malaysian politicians begin to tremble."

When Syed Hussein writes, observed Asiaweek's Roger Mitton, Malaysian politicians tremble. He is perhaps the only Malaysian writer whose craft supports him, and does so very well.
