摘要：In 2020, Jalan SS19 1G, Subang Jaya became bereft of two Malaysian literary giants, KS Maniam on 19th February and Salleh Ben Joned on 29th October. Few knew that it was along this unknown suburban street that two of Malaysia’s leading writers in English lived most of their adult lives and eventually died. Both were true to their reputations when I visited them. Maniam was home ready to receive me while I waited outside Salleh’s house for an hour and then had to return the next day to meet him; he had forgotten about our appointment. It would have been my loss if I had not returned. That was to be the last time I got to meet my former lecturer and friend Salleh Ben Joned in 2017.
