KULIM, Oct 10 (Bernama) — Ahmad Shauqi, the son of academic and social activist Kassim Ahmad who died today, expressed regret that his father was not able to complete the translation of the Quran into Malay.
“He had, in fact, completed translating one third of the Quran. He felt he had to do it because the current translations used flowery language.

“He wanted to translate it into language that is easier for the public to understand,” he told reporters at his father’s home here.
Ahmad Shauqi, 50, said that in the later stage of his life, his father was actively writing and his last work was an auto-biography.
However, he said, the auto-biography was still being finalised and would be published soon.
