A few days before this book was sent to the printer, while doing the final dummy, I met Tara Singh. Singh who originally was my family lawyer has become a personal friend to me. I showed him a prototype of the book. An observant Sikh, Tara told me ‘Is it Just Malays without Islam? I think all religions are having the same problem’.

on Wednesday 16 December 2009 - 13:16:43 | by adminI have intended this 59th book of my 50 years as a writer, to be different from the rest of my books. Although initially I wasn’t sure how, whether it is going to be a mere translation of my previous Malay book or shall it be a truly Malaysian book which includes Namewee, an entertainer who suddenly becomes a very controversial figure because of his song Negarakuku.
When I began my career as a political commentator in 1972, I have been an ardent observer of my surroundings when Tunku Abdul Rahman was then Prime Minister and now Najib, the son of Tun Razak became the 6th Prime Minister.
