Can the ‘Blessed One' Rajagobal kick off a new tradition?
INVITED to speak at the launch of Datuk K. Rajagobal's memoirs 'Inilah Saya Rajagobal' on Saturday, co-adviser of the publishing house Karangkraf Group, Datuk Nasir Hamzah quoted a famous African dictum.
'When a learned person dies, a library burns down,' said Nasir, quoting the proverb widely attributed to Amadou Hampate Ba, one of the major intellectual and literary figures of twentieth-century Africa.
