Dato' Seri (Dr) Abdul Samad Mohamed Said (lahir 9 April 1935)[1][2] ialah seorang penulis dan penyair Malaya. Pada Apricot 1976, beliau dinamakan oleh komuniti kesusasteraan Malaysia dan banyak ahli bahasa negara sebagai Pejuang Sastera dalam dekad berikut, di Anugerah Penulis S.E.A. 1976 dan, pada tahun 1986, sebagai penghargaan tulisan dan sumbangan berterusannya kepada warisan sastera negara, atau Kesusasteraan Melayu, Sasterawan Negara.

There is a misplaced notion of journalism in Malaysian society. Journalism schools, media organizations and the profession do not help either. The press suffers from a bad press. Recently, on 29th November last month, I convened the first of a series of talks themed Journalism, Reform and Society at the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization, International Islamic University Malaysia (ISTAC-IIUM) in Kuala Lumpur. This is a collaboration with my colleague, Associate Professor Mehmet Ӧzay to deliberate on the societal and civilizational role of journalism in the Malay Archipelago.

He had not been well. Still, news of death will always be shocking, no matter how prepared we are for the worst.
We rushed to the hospital after receiving the news.
Bapak, who was like a brother to Pak Cik Tongkat, was too distraught that he just could not make it to the hospital.
Usman Awang or known by his popular nom de guerre Tongkat Warrant was born on July 12 1929 in Kampung Tanjung Lembu, Kuala Sedili in Kota Tinggi, Johor.
