Members of the Fulbright Alumni Association of Malaysia, Malaysia scholars who have spent time in the US as part of the Fulbright program, thought that it would be interesting and valuable for them to publish a book documenting the experiences of Malaysians during their exchange programs in the US.
The week before I left for Sabah, they held an even at the office of the Malaysian-American Commission on Educational Exchange (MACEE) to formally launch the book "Fulbright Chroicles: American Experience, Malaysian Perspective" published by the University of Malaya Press. The book contains 15 chapters from scholars from diverse fields who spent time in all parts of the US. I enjoyed reading about their experiences in the US and thought it was interesting to compare their experiences in the States with my experiences here. I told them that it thought it would be interesting to publish a companion volume in which Americans could discuss their experiences in Malaysia.
The editors- Dr. Suseela Malakolunthu (right) and Dr. Asma Abdullah.

Congratulations to FAAM, the editors, and all of the authors! I hope that you will soon be able to retire on your royalties.
