Description
Datuk Musa Hitam, once regarded as an 'ultra' in UMNO politics, now holds the second most powerful elective position in Malaysia. Was he an extremist in earlier years? This book analyses Musa Hitam's speeches and actions in order to find the answer. It provides an account of the Deputy Prime Minister's political activi- ties since his days as a student leader in the 1950's.
In addition, the book includes a detailed account of the race for the deputy presidency of UMNO between Musa and Finance Minister Tengku Razaleigh in 1981. The final chapter discusses the innovative style of the new Mahathir/Musa partnership.
