Abstract
Ucapan ini disampaikan di pertemuan sasterawan anjuran KAMUS (Kumpulan Angkatan Muda Sastera). Ia merujuk pada pertemuan sasterawan yang terdahulu di mana para penulis menganggapkan dirinya belum cukup 'jadi sasterawan' dan berasa tidak layak dan perlu menyertai pertemuan. Akibatnya pertemuan tidak mencapai taksiran penganjur. Penyampai juga membincangkan tentang pemasaran buku-buku Melayu yang tidak lancar. Barangkali ketidaklancaran itu bukannya bersebabkan kekurangan pembaca, tetapi mungkin kerana kurang pembeli.
This speech was delivered during the writers' meet organised by KAMUS (Kumpulan Angkatan Muda Sastera). The speaker refers to a previous meet in which attendance did not meet the organiser's expectations. This could be due to writers who still consider themselves as not being qualified literary writers. The speaker also discuss the marketing of Malay books and its poor sales record. This may not be due to a lack of readers, but perhaps due to a lack of buyers in the market.
