About the author
Awang Goneng moved from Trengganu to Kuala Lumpur to attend
the Victoria Institution where he and a schoolfriend (who later
became a judge in Singapore) involuntarily broke the schools
medium-distance record while fleeing a gang from a rival school
near the Merdeka Stadium.
With this newfound talent for power running, Awang Goneng
proceeded swiftly into subsequent chapters of his life: first through
the doors of the London School of Economics and Political Science
(LSE) where he took a Law degree (from the Academic Registrars
office one night when the door was left open), and then through an
academic career (briefly) and journalism (less briefly) during which
time he interviewed, among others, Anthony Burgess, Barbara
Cartland and Adnan Khashoggi.
He now lives in London as a freelance writer. -

Synopsis of this book
Following the runaway success of Growing Up in
Trengganu, Awang Goneng now takes his journey
further to map out the town where he was born.
This book looks at the terrain of Trengganu, the
landmarks that are still standing and those that have
fallen to rubble at the hands of developers, the winds
that bring chill and change to the inhabitants of his
coastal town, and people the important and the
ordinary who walked the streets and breathed the air
that is laced with more than a whiff of dried shrimps,
the sweat of toil, the aroma of rjk in Pk Dhs plate,
and salt coming in with the spray from the South China
Sea.
A Map of Trengganu gives a vibrant and
extraordinary topography of the land and its
people for the uninitiated and for those who are
familiar with the terrain and territory.
Time does not stand still in Kuala Trengganu as
Awang Goneng notes, but it moves at a different
pace in every fascia, and then it is gone forever.
So who moved the clock tower from the
roundabout in the town centre? Youll soon be
pondering this important question and many
more things that you never knew about
Trengganu
