Notes from M.R. Sukhumbhand Paribatra (Chairman of the S.E.A. Write Organising Committee): "Since 1979 the S.E.A. Write Awards has played a significant role in promoting and recognizing contemporary writers, dramatists, and poets of the ASEAN countries. It has also encouraged literary exchange and cooperation amongst ASEAN writers.
To commemorate the 30th anniversary, the Organizing Committee deems it appropriate that after three decades of continued success, some of the award-winning works should be translated, compiled, and published as an anthology. With the publication of such an anthology, international readers would be able to appreciate these ASEAN masterpieces."
