Not a very long time ago, I wrote about this fabulous association (Esastera Malaysia) that unites both local and ASEAN e-writers, poets, literature practitioners/activists/fans alike.
Last week, they did it again!
Esastera is embarking on a journey to become a global player in the e-literature market.

(Rois is also practicing his own personal social responsibility by leading the Rumah Baca Bintang Al-Ikhlas (RBBAI) Banten (House of Reading) focussing on issues of education guided by the values of religion, moral, social and cultural)
The main theme "Between Anyer and Jakarta" (inspired by one Sheila Majid's song) - Esastera appeared in Banten to voice out their strong support towards transnational unity/fraternity of literary works, how they adapt to the borderless world, the future of e-literature and their generic functions in the global issues today. Other issues are aimed towards promoting the rich culture of the archipelago (Nusantara) as well as tourism in Banten.
