Wilayah Kutu, Neohikayat's first book is on sale now. Biggest congrats to Ruhayat, his writers, and all who worked with him for getting this venture launched!
You can get your copy of the book directly from Ruhayat directly (ruhayatx@yahoo.co.uk) or from Silverfish for RM20.
I shall sweating over my copy, Malay-English dictionary in hand, but know it will be worth it. (I will finally get to faham all the bits I missed at the Darling Muse reading.)
Actually my Malay is already stumped on the title! Does Wilayah Kutu mean Federal Territory Flea or Fleas of the Federal Territory ... Help me please.
Note added later - stolen from Silverfish website:

A lil bird from the Wilayah Kutu murder of crows told me one midnight that it may actually mean "Territory of the Fleas"...
Ahah! That makes sense.
Hopeless Mat Salleh that I am cannot even makes sense of the title - what more the rest of the book?
