About Anisah
Anisah
At times, curiosity provokes readers to find out about this person's personal details. I hate to disappoint, but there are none here beyond the following:
Muslim, woman, voter, polyglot.
My practical heritage is Malaysian, collective memory is Straits Chinese, culture is British, outlook is Commonwealth, views are European, and my religion is Islam. This site contains a mix-bag of entries, including but not limited to politics and political literacy, Islam, spirituality and social justice, books and reviews, and the occasional pictures. If you want to respond to any articles here, do leave a comment, or email me at anisah.sofia@yahoo.com.

kunci hati
Jangan penjara hati ini
ia tak erti mencari kunci
cuma diam menunggu.
Jangan hulurkan saja kunci
ia tak kenal mana satu
cuma bukalah mangga.
Jangan juga tunggu di pintu
ia sudah lupa bangun
cuma pimpinlah keluar.
Barangkali ia akan ikut.

This is in Malay. Somebody can translate it into English? The beauty of prose is that it could convey so many meanings. Here, it could mean a woman trapped within the confines of a patriarchal society and its norms. Or, a woman trapped within herself. Or an individual deprived for so long that she has given up hoping. Or it is a woman after all, but a man? Or it could be someone who has given up on faith, waiting for someone to hold his hands to return again? Or, what else?
Eid Mubarak, Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitr. Maaf zahir batin.
With love, hopes and prayers,
Anisah
