A Samad Ismail

We cannot discuss the future of the Malay language without at the same time discussing the future of the Malay people...The history of the Malay language is the history of the Malay people. The future of the Malay language will be the future of the Malay people.

Malay writers, in particular must recognise their active responsibility.

History moulds man, but man in turn creates and mould history.
