KOTA KINABALU, Dec 5 — Azmah Nordin, winner of the prestigious second Sabah State Literature Award , says accompanying her youngest son undergoing cancer treatment 23 years ago was an experience that will forever be etched in her heart.
“All the time while accompanying him, I would write my novel on my laptop. There were works that were produced in that ward, winning several literary prizes,” she told Bernama. Among her works that were recognised at the national level were the DBP Novel award in 1986 through the novel entitled ‘Kukui’, Children’s Novel Award, 1987 , Malaysia Literary Award 1992/1993 , ESSO/GAPENA Novel Special Prize 1994
“They and several lecturers from universities in the peninsula who conducted writing workshops about 30 years ago were my mentors and at that time they were also teaching young writers,” she said adding that one of the editors then was Emin Madi.“Using her real name as her pen name, her novel ‘Bosan’ was published in the ‘Wadah’ magazine in 1987 and that spurred the mother of three to continue writing.
