Home Thoughts from Abroad
Premiering on 12 April, 2026
Once, in a gentler Malaysia—when doors stayed open, neighbours dropped by unannounced, and time bowed to mood—life brimmed with charm and cheerful unpredictability. When you are abroad and missing home, “home” means a host of little things you never knew you loved so much until you are away. They dance into your minds at the oddest moments and tease you into nostalgia.
The Soft Places Where We Grow
By Dr. Lay Peng & Lay Hua
This book serves as a voice for the voiceless, defending the unborn and illuminating the sacredness of life within the womb. It challenges us to look beyond rhetoric and convenience, into the deep soul of what it truly means to cherish life in its purest form.
Tribute to Adibah Amin

A Toast to A Legend
Adibah Amin taught a nation how to see itself. She was more than a writer; she was Malaysia’s heartbeat in print. Whether or not she was sharing her sharp, observational wit as Sri Delima, she had an uncanny ability to find the extraordinary in the mundane. She moved seamlessly between Malay and English, translating not just words, but cultures. Her column, “As I Was Passing,” wasn’t just a series of essays—it was a mirror held up to our collective soul, reflecting our quirks, our kindness, and our shared humanity with a gentle, knowing smile.
To her colleagues, she was a mentor of unparalleled generosity; to her readers, she was the wise friend who always knew what to say.
— Philip Matthews (former News Editor)

Her Words, Our Hearts
Tributes to Adibah Amin
"In her deceptively simple prose Adibah manifests her capacity to bring life’s full circle in a great arc of grace, warmth and humanity. As any good judgment in a court of law should be, Adibah Amin’s portrayal of our quirks as Malaysians and the multi-layered nuances of our young nation is so powerful, that for a long time everything else I read, seemed bland."
– Tan Sri Zainun Ali, former Federal Court judge
"Adibah Amin’s erudite body of work was the spark for my calling in journalism. Her voice was powerful for it can make me laugh, cry and think, but most of all taught me the power of words. In the early 70s when our country was going through the delicate process of rebuilding and healing from an aftermath of racial tension, her columns warmed hearts by dismantling prejudices and celebrating what it meant to be Malaysians."
– Aishah Ali, Journalist; NST editor for Women Features & Sunday Mail
"At a time when our country is polarised as never before, Adibah Amin’s writings in her beloved column As I Was Passing will I hope be a balm to Malaysians tired of the endless abuse of race and religion for political gain. Her columns celebrate her love, our love for Malaysia and Malaysians in all our rich diversity, our quirks and foibles. And done with love, humour and generous sprinkles of asam garam."
– Zainah Anwar, Writer, Activist
