About Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi

I am Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi, also known as MENJ, a Malaysian writer, poet, researcher, publisher, SEO specialist, and web developer. Born in San Jose, my work spans literature, religion, research, public affairs, publishing, and digital technology.

I received my early education at Sekolah Rendah Sri Inai in 1987 and later attended Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Abdullah Munshi, Penang, from 1993. I subsequently studied Computing and Information Technology at the Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT).

My background in technology has remained closely connected to my writing and publishing. I have worked in search engine optimisation (SEO) since 2006 and have been involved in web development and WordPress development, including websites and plugins.

As a writer and researcher, my work draws on personal experience, documentary evidence, public records, historical and scholarly sources, and legal materials. My interests include literature, religion, public accountability, institutional conduct, and contemporary issues in Malaysia.

My published books include Buddhism: A Muslim Primer (Jahabersa, 2005), When Apostates Become Shaykhs...: A Systematic Analysis of Their Dominant Ideas on the World Wide Web (Jahabersa, 2006), Dua Dasawarsa: Sebuah Kumpulan Puisi 2005–2025 (Langgam Fikir, 2025), Paulus: Perosak Risalah al-Masīḥ; Sejarah Bagaimana Ajaran Kristian Dicipta Sepenuhnya (Langgam Fikir, 2025), and Polis Raja Di Malaysia: Power, Corruption & Control in Malaysia’s Police Force (Langgam Fikir, 2026).
