Tun M, Father of Modern Malaysia  wrote this book to describe challenges facing the nation. “We got your books signed!“ Nathaniel Shaun shouts over the phone. His words are like music to my ears. Days earlier, Shaun, together with his fifth form classmates Neo Yi Siang and Rakesh Ram, had given me the heads up about Tun Dr Dr Mahathir Mohamad‘s impending visit to his former alma mater, Sultan Abdul Hamid College. Mindful of a scheduled meeting between the great statesman and the students during that particular visit, I promptly handed my young friends two selected books written by Dr Mahathir himself in the hope of getting them autographed should the opportunity present itself. Shaun‘s jubilation culminates in his rather graphic narration about how the mission was accomplished. As school prefects, the trio were among the first to greet Dr Mahathir the moment he stepped off the stage after delivering his speech. That was when they seized the moment. Dr Mah...

National Car 1. I was told that no one wished to see second national car. Enough with the failed Proton. 2. We are not qualified and unable to own an automotive industry. Malaysians are willing to buy imported cars including from China. Their choice is Japanese car and those with  money would buy Germany cars. 3. I still remember Japanese car soon after war. Consumers said if we scribble with finger nails, we can see Milo tin. But, from this Milo tin came numerous Toyota, Nissan and Suzuki models that we are using now. 4. So is pony Hyundai cars. Time pass with Japanese and Korean cars becomes better. Austin, Morris and other car brands from Europe disappeared from market. 5.  Surely, this will not happen in Malaysia. Our car will forever be made from tin. 6. We are not suggesting to government to produce second national car. Our private companies are capable of designing, making clay models, test models dan huge productions motor vehicle. But, since ide...

A visit to the Padang Brown flea market turns out to be an opportunity for the writer to learn more about the Japanese Occupation in Penang "Documents! That vendor over there just pulled out a large bag of old documents!" my wife whispers excitedly into my ear just as I'm about to start sifting through a stack of old picture postcards. She waves her finger towards the opposing side of the narrow pathway filled with people. I looked intently but fail so see the seller. The look on her face, however, tells me that something is afoot.

Dozens of vendors start gathering at this spot in Penang's bustling Dato Keramat area as soon as they're done with lunch. It...
