    had a peek on this book last weekend at Borders Queensbay Mall Penang. good to read something refreshing though. and real. because we are soooo ‘polluted and sweeten’ by the recent developments here in malaysia.

    good read, but for those who are expecting ‘explosive content’, dont bother to wait. you’ll be dissappointed.

    the author can only put like…. 77 (if I am not mistaken) letters out of 84 (given permission by the government) and I must say, few letters like those to Thatcher, Mayor, and Chirac, were absolute joy to read.

    Good read.

    Yes, I’ve bought and read the book. The clarity of thought from the ol’ man is evident as always. He manages to put in some remarks about the current admin, about pleasing the PM becoming the upmost priority these days, etc.
    I think all the previous PM have that same trait.For AAB, well everytime he comes out on TV me and my family can’t wait to switch channel.
