There is a wise and prescient Malay saying “Jikalau sesat, kembalilah ke pangkal jalan”. (If lost, go back to the start – the fork in the road). The author, a consummate corporate insider in his seventh decade, picks his seven wrong turns, as such. Agree, disagree but never disagreeable, a thought-provoking read, for us to reflect and most of all, to act to build and rebuild our nation.

Former Managing Director, Khazanah Nasional Berhad (2004-2018)

Embracing uncomfortable truths with courage and venturing into unchartered territories, the author’s insightful analyses and observations on our historical trajectory offer valuable contemplation points for charting our onward course. This book encapsulates a wealth of honest viewpoints and wisdom.

Former Group Managing Director, Lembaga Tabung Haji

The writer spent a lot of time and effort researching on the background to our independence. The information obtained on the negotiation with the British is information not available to Malaysians or any history books. He then traced the political and economic growth and development on the nation with a very balanced emphasis on the Bumiputra issues. A book worth reading indeed.

Tan Sri Rafiah Salim
Former Vice Chancellor, University of Malaya
