Seeing Malaysia My Way
by
Musa M Bakri
The author, a Malaysian surgeon living abroad, defends himself against the apt observation that Malaysian commentators tend to recycle their old newspaper articles whenever they're commissioned to write a book. In this case only a third of the essays in this book have been published before, those that are included are as submitted before being pruned, often by self-censoring editors, and we also have feedback from readers to those that have been previously published. The result is a wideranging and entertaining look at the country's poltical a social scene at the beginning of the century. 376 pages. Chapters include
