Multihued Multitude Or United We Stand or Malaysia Truly Asia or 1 Malaysia

Author Name: Pannir Santiago Format: eBook | Genre : Educational & Professional | Other Details

If humans originated from a single couple, why are we so racially different yet so intellectually similar? That’s for the anthropologists and sociologists. What this book does is, take an existing sample of disparate communities existing together, and observe their behaviour as in a multi species aquarium. In this case, the multiracial population of Malaysia is studied side by side – their language, culture, religion, food, attitudes etc. The reader will observe and form his / her own conclusions.

Pannir Santiago

Rose Waters St. James is the nom de plume of Pannir Santiago. It is a direct translation of the Tamil / Spanish original. He is a 3rd generation Malaysian. His grandfather was a kangaani (“overseer”) in the British owned Glenmarie rubber estate in Selangor, in the 1940s British Malaya. He had earlier recruited workers from his village in India under the indenture system. 
At 70 years now, Pannir considers his life as one of drift rather than drive. In other words, an easy going one with scant concern for worldly notions of success or fame. Though he has wanted to write that single great historical novel, he has yet to find that ignition, combustion and motion. Otherwise, he thinks he can converse with any class of person on any subject, complex or simplex.
Like a pelican waiting for fish, he passes time scouring the internet – YouTube, Google etc. Any information on current affairs, health, cinema, religion, science, politics etc, is game. These become grist / gist for any conversation that presents itself.
