Book Review:
In this chapter, the author emphasizes on the
role of the kampung from two two different works by Awang
Goneng entitled Growing up in Terengganu and Riri Riza’s Laskar Pelangi. In
addition, it is also stated in this chapter about the role and the importance
of the masjid or surau in the kampung which
play a role for the people to get knowledge and learn about many things from
the religion to the interaction between humans.
Other than that, this chapter also
enlightened the reader about the beauty and the importance of the kampung in
a society especially in the modern world. This is because; people nowadays are
too much attached with the urban lifestyle and forget about their duties
towards the fellow human being. Other than that, the masjid and surau also
are slowly losing their role as the place for people to gather around and seek
knowledge.
