Zaid Ibrahim is a political insider turned political outsider whose provocative views on the political, social and economic landscape of Malaysia has courted controversy and legal actions ever since he started publically airing his views. In the collection of essays, the author cautions that Malaysia under the current regime is sliding into authoritarian rule and considers strategies that would reaffirm democratic principles that would save Malaysia. While many of the articles in this collection are provocative in nature, this book is a contemplative collection of articles of what it means to be Malaysian when the country is divided along racial and religious lines. While the author may have burnt bridges with the authorities, this book is an attempt to build bridge with the greater Malaysian polity.
