Gerakbudaya presents three bold new titles: Kenangan Luka, Fahmi Mustaffa’s retelling of the resistance hero Sybil Kathigasu; The Golden Oasis by A. Ubaidillah, a meditation on faith and resilience; and Akal Sanggahan Bebal by W. N. Khuzairey, a sharp critique of conformity. This triple launch showcases urgent voices reimagining history, belief, and critique in contemporary Malaysian writing.
