It is a sad day for culture and the arts. I learned a lot from my days watching Bangsawan and Chinese opera in my kampung back in the 1960s and early 1970s. One in particular, Dewan Budaya, is a specialised magazine on culture and the arts. Culture and the arts are part of our jati diri (character building). Johan Jaaffar is a journalist and the author of Jejak Seni: Dari Pentas Bangsawan Ke Media Prima Berhad, an autobiography of his involvement in culture and the arts.
