An Autobiography
Brother Michael Jacques
Starting with fond memories of a

Berbanding dengan adiknya Zainab
Mahmud, Siti Norkiah Mahmud
mungkin kurang dikenali. Akan
tetapi, perjuangan Siti Norkiah
tidak kurang hebatnya. Bermula
sebagai Ketua AWAS Pahang,
Siti Norkiah menghabiskan
hampir separuh daripada
umurnya di medan perjuangan,
dan hanya berhenti berjuang
setelah termeterainya Perjanjian
Perdamaian antara PKM dengan
kerajaan Malaysia dan kerajaan Thailand pada tahun 1989.
Kisah hidup dan perjuangan Siti Norkiah, dari muda hingga
ke tua, dibentangkan dalam buku ini, dengan harapan
perjuangan dan jasanya akan difahami, dihargai dan diberi
pengiktirafan.

The Fajar Generation
The University Socialist Club and the Politics
of Postwar Malaya and Singapore
Edited by Poh Soo Kai, Tan Jing Quee and Koh Kay Yew
The Fajar Generation tells the
hitherto neglected story of a
remarkable group of men and
women who advanced a radical
agenda of anti-colonialism,
democracy, multiculturalism and
social justice through the agency
of the University of Malaya
Socialist Club. Through personal
memoirs and analytical essays
the contributors to this collection
illuminate their own roles in
that struggle – the hopes and
despairs, the triumphs and
defeats. At the same time they remind us of just how much
of that progressive political agenda is still to be won in
contemporary Malaysia and Singapore.
