Description
<< This book is signed by the author, editor, and Tengku Razaleigh.>>
There are few superlatives that have not been showered upon Tengku Razaleigh by those who seek to give recognition to his varied talents and achievements during two decades of public service.
In reality, however, his deeds speak more eloquently and emphatically, and words chosen to describe them serve only to chronicle his vast contributions, lest they be lost to history or distorted by those not mindful of their importance in shaping the post-Merdeka economy of Malaysia.
Patriot, prince, politician - Tengku Razaleigh is all these in different measure, and his colourful career is unparalleled in terms of achievement and experiences for a man who has yet to reach the age of fifty.
But most of all Tengku Razaleigh remains a man of the people, one who is equally at home with a peon, poet or billionaire. This characteristic comes through repeatedly in the pages of this book, which sets out to chronicle his life and contributions as a party (UMNO) stalwart and cabinet minister in the Malaysian government. The book was written with the active cooperation of Tengku Razaleigh who spent scores of hours in discussion with the author, Mr. Ranjit Gill.
Mr. Gill, 45, is a Singaporean with a special interest in Malaysian affairs. His two other books, also published by Pelanduk are: The Making of Malaysia Inc., and George Tan: the Carrian Saga. ISBN:9679781011
