It was reported that the Malay Heritage Centre, in collaboration with the Department of Malay Studies at the NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, had organised the seminar titled “Literature for Independence” as part of the Al-Bustan Seminar Series, which explored the relations between independence and literature. The seminar featured guest speaker Mr Mohamed Latif Mohamed, a prolific poet and writer in Singapore’s Malay literary scene. It was noted that his works can be recognised as classic works and that they reflect the nationalistic sentiment that was the reality of that time.
