Malaysian authors and the call for the Nobel

Malaysian authors were challenged by their Deputy Prime Minister to win Nobel Prize by writing what that can transcend their barriers and strive to the global market. Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi demanded Malaysian intellectual including novelists and authors to produce 'works that could capture the attention of international audiences.

Yes sir, but of course among the current barriers is a language issues because not only we need the money to translate our works, but also a good translators which are not cheap to get them. And until now, we still don't have a single translator who had be known as a good literary translator and professional one especially to the English.

So first thing first   - please put some money in the pot.
