Catatan Buku Musa Hitam


Mula membaca buku Frankly Speaking tulisan Musa Hitam. Musa Hitam lahir pada 1934 di johor bahru. Seronok baca cerita tokoh lama ni. Satunya kita akan tahu cerita kisah hidup mereka pada zaman kita belum ada. 

Dia mula masuk sekolah sekitar 1940. Antara guru dia nama cikgu rahmat. Bapak kepada mohamad bin rahmat. Menteri yg kita panggil tok mat. Sempat sekolah sekitar setahun saja. Jepun pun masuk Malaya. Habis sekolah semua tutup bertahun2. Ada juga cikgu dia nama lim kit siang. Guru yang mengajar art. Tapi bukanlah Lim Kiat Siang ahli politik yang juga asal dari Johor. TS Lim Kit Siang usia muda dari Tun Musa. TS Lim KS lahir pada 1941.

Masa perang Jepun memang hidup susah. Tun Musa kata sekolah tutup lama. Ramai warga kampung terpaksa buat apa saja kerja utk hidup. Dia jual kueh nama kueh ketiput. Bukan ketupat kata nya. Kueh ketiput. Nanti kena google pulak cari ketiput ni rupa mana.
