Description
This is the story of a Malaysian born in the twilight of British Malaya, growing up in an independent Malaysia, attaining maturity as his nation approaches the turn of the millennium and this is the story of Malaysia’s own growth, as seen through his eyes.
The historical and biographical narrative is interwoven with passages culled from a months long journey through the nation as the narrator visits every Malaysian state, exploring his country and, in so doing, his own soul.
