About the Session:
In April, we commemorate the 2nd anniversary of Said Zahari’s passing. Join us as we delve into his remarkable life and multifaceted contributions. Said Zahari, affectionately known as Pak Said, was a mentor, comrade, friend, and kindred soul to many. He was unjustly imprisoned for 17 years without trial starting in 1963 due to his unwavering commitment to freedom and democracy. Despite his hardships, Pak Said remained vibrant and full of life, leaving an indelible mark on those who knew him. This session aims to explore his impact and legacy through his journalistic, literary, and political endeavors.
Excerpt from “Remembering Said Zahari – Patriot and Freedom Fighter”:
“To many of us, Pak Said Zahari was a mentor, a comrade, a friend, a kindred soul. He was locked away for 17 years without trial from 1963 for his belief in freedom and democracy. But Said, as he is lovingly known to many of his friends from all walks of life, young and old, never lost his zest for living. Ever smiling, earnest in thought and words, this giant of a man will always remain in our hearts.”
Join us as we pay tribute to a remarkable individual who has left an enduring impact on our society.
