While the representation of the perpuisian Malaysai put 16 names from the poet A. Samad Said (born in 1925) to Rahimidin Zahari (referred to as a humanist in biodatanya young Malaysian, regardless of birth year information). Number of the poet and a range of next-generation poet not guarantee the completeness and the size of representation perpuisian quality.

Concerns that arise in the translation of poetry is the cliche and classic. Inclusion of poetry in the original language in this book is a''solution''that can minimize the risk of translation.

Books such as this can menggaulkan a tradition of poetry in the wider environment or the world and a place that allows for mutual-learning. Ketertutupan a tradition of poetry in the middle of treasury treasury-perpuisian the world can be opened through the translation, as the view that''Jose Saramago writer with language to create a national literature. Literature of the world was created by the translators.''(*)
