It’s finally out! My Afghanistan feature article and photo essay in Esquire magazine (Dec 2011)! It’s titled ‘Malaysia, we are at war!’ and I write about my time being embedded with the Malaysian Armed Forces in Bamiyan, Afghanistan. So head out to your nearest newsstand and get your copy! But it sure ain’t over yet…

After the official launch, the promotion of my book and DVD ‘OPERATION NASI KERABU: FINDING PATANI IN AN ISLAMIC INSURGENCY‘ has been going along quite well. How can it not when you have such a sexy ass guy behind it (ME of course!). Last week, I was on ntv7′s The Breakfast Show along with Tuwaedaniya Meringing, the main character of my book and film who so graciously flew down to Kuala Lumpur from Thailand to help me with my promotion campaign. (The clip below is courtesy of ntv7 and Primeworks Studios)
And a few days ago, The Malay Mail wrote a decent review of my book, which you can read online here.
The book can be found at any major book store at the price of RM25 (and this includes a free DVD of my documentary film ‘THE LIFE & TIMES OF AN ISLAMIC INSURGENCY‘!). You can also buy it online at FATBIDIN.COM/STORE/. So please buy the book people! I need to feed my four month old daughter! She’s been crying for milk for a long time now!

And so it was the launch of my book and DVD ‘OPERATION NASI KERABU: FINDING PATANI IN AN ISLAMIC INSURGENCY‘ which took place at The Annexe, Central Market in Kuala Lumpur. I’ve got an aching wrist from signing a gazillion copies of my book!
The book is selling at RM25 an it comes with a free DVD of my documentary film ‘THE LIFE & TIMES OF AN ISLAMIC INSURGENCY‘. Just visit your nearest bookstore.
Tuwaedaniya Meringing (AKA Daniya), the veteran journalist/fixer from Patani and also the main character of my book and film, saying a few words about the conflict in his hometown.
Indulging my adoring fans!
Please buy my book if you want my daughter to continue having milk to drink and diapers to poop in!
The two guys that made this happen… Tuwaedaniya Meringing and Ezra Zaid (ZI Publications).
And on a last note, tune in to ntv7′s The Breakfast Show this Tuesday, 21st June 2011, at 9am, to see Daniya and me talk about my book and film!

I wrote two articles based on my filmmaking trip to the Middle-East for Surf! magazine (click on the pics to read). Go check out the latest issue at all major newstands and bookstores!
I’m a writer too! Soooo talented lah! Hahaha!
Go out and grab a copy of the latest issue (May/June 07) of SURF! It’s an awesome magazine! Absolutely terrific! Totally bodacious! And it has one hell of a regular contributing writer (it’s me obviously!)!
This issue’s cover theme deals with New Media news. Check out the opening article entitled ‘The New News’. Great stuff! One hell of a writer I tell you (it’s me obviously!)!
As you all know, I wrote a book which is now on the shelves (and if you didn’t know… now you do!). The New Straits Times recently wrote an article about the publishing company, Content Cradle. What makes it unique is that submission of ideas are done online. Read the article here.
I wrote a book… with some help of course! It’s in the bookstores now and is being sold at RM19.90, published by Content Cradle. It’s a simple book that helps people to make full use of New Media/Internet.
Check it out! Buy a copy! Help me pay the bills, feed my kids and pay for my parents’ nursing home fees!
