Happy 80th birthday to neighbour Said Zahari

My neighbour Pak Said Zahari, born in Singapore in 1929, is going to be eighty years of age this coming Sunday (May 18) and some of us have decided to give him a treat in a Western restaurant in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Hopefully, we will be able to get him to sing the very popular song of Yao Surong in the 1970s which Said learnt from cell mates while being detained. He was the chief editor of the Utusan Melayu from 1959 to 1961.
