Suggested Reading for Malaysia SUGGESTED READING FOR MALAYSIA BOOKS • Land Below the Wind by Agnes Keith – This book was written during an era when Sabah was known as North Borneo, and when life was very much different from today. Reprinted many times, this classic, of Agnes Keith's observations and reflections of the time, is a true-to-life record of society and culture then and of the captivating natural beauty of Sabah • Merdeka! by Khong Kin Hoong – Merdeka! describes the explosive situation in Malaya between the end of the Second World War until the termination of direct British rule in 1957. The study fills in certain gaps in existing knowledge of this critical period in Malayan politics, with analysis of the conflicts between the British Military Administration and the Communists, the radical reaction to the Malayan Union proposals and the Federation of Malayan Agreement, and the agitation for constitutional democracy. • Espresso with the Headhunters by John Wassner- A Journey Through the Jungles of Borneo. • A White Headhunter in Borneo by Stephen Holley (2004). Kota Kinabalu: Natural History Publications • Wild Malaysia: by Geoffrey Davison, Junaidi Payne and Melvin Gumal- The Wildlife, Scenery, and Biodiversity of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak. The Wildlife, Scenery, and Biodiversity of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak • ‘A Malaysian Journey’ by Rehman Rashid: There are two interwoven journeys: the author’s literal and physical one upon his return home and reacquaintance with Malaysia, and the other a history of Malaysia: the events leading up to Malaya’s independence in 1957, the birth of Malaysia in 1963, and the nation’s coming-of-age during the terms of Mahathir Mohamad as prime minister. • Into the Heart of Borneo: by Redmond O'Hanlon: The story of a 1983 journey to the center of Borneo, which no expedition had attempted since 1926. O'Hanlon, accompanied by friend and poet James Fenton and three native guides brings wit and humor to a dangerous journey • Stranger in the Forest: On Foot Across Borneo: (1988) is a travel book by Eric Hansen about a seven-month, 4000-km long journey (of which 2300 km on foot) through the heartland of Borneo in 1982. Hansen became one of the few westerners to walk across the island. He did so largely with the aid of local Penan, who took him away from the rivers, the most used transportation routes in Borneo, to walk through the jungle. The journey started in Marudi in Sarawak, Malaysia, at the northwest coast of the island. When, after an illegal border-crossing, he eventually emerged near the east coast in Kalimantan, Indonesia, the confrontation with western civilisation gave him such a culture shock that he turned around for another crossing of the island. • Where Hornbills Fly: A Journey with the Headhunters of Borneo: Erik Jensen. Once headhunters under the rule of White Rajahs and briefly colonised before independence within Malaysia, the Iban Dayaks of Borneo are one of the world's most extraordinary indigenous tribes, possessing ancient traditions and a unique way of life. As a young man Erik Jensen settled in Sarawak where he lived with the Iban for seven years, learning their language and the varied rites and practices of their lives. He was also witness to the great and often shattering changes they faced then and continue to face today. The plentiful harvests, abundant game and rivers teeming with fish of their remembered past have long since disappeared - destroyed by restrictions on settlement and, ironically, by forest conservation. The Iban's animist beliefs are slowly being replaced by the imported religions of Christianity and Islam and their traditional ways by modern schooling and medicine. In this compelling and beautifully-wrought memoir, Erik Jensen reveals the challenges facing the Iban as they adapt to another century, whilst fighting to preserve their identity and singular place in the world. • The War of the running Dogs (1948 – 1960): Only three short years after the end of the Japanese occupation, war came again to Malaya. The Chinese-backed guerrillas called it the War of the Running Dogs - their contemptuous term for those in Malaya who remained loyal to the British. The British Government referred to this bloody and costly struggle as the 'Malayan Emergency'. Yet it was a war that lasted twelve years and cost thousands of lives. By the time it was over Malaya had obtained its independence - but on British, not on Chinese or Communist terms. Here is the war as it was. Here are the planters and their wives on their remote rubber estates, the policemen, the generals and the soldiers, the Malays, Chinese and Indians of a polyglot country, all fighting an astute, ruthless, and well organized enemy.

  • Tun Razak and Tun Ismail – the Movie
    Tun Razak and Tun Ismail – the movie By ISABELLE LAI [email protected] PETALING JAYA: The extraordinary friendship between Tun Abdul Razak Hussein and Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman will be depicted for the first time in a movie. A hunt is underway to find the actors to play the roles of the two leaders who were instrumental in bringing peace and stability to the country after the May 13, 1969 racial conflict. Leading roles: The hunt is on for actors to play Tun Abdul Razak and Dr Ismail (above). Co-producer Kavita Sidhu said they were looking for experienced performers for individual casting. “They can be Malay, Chinese, Indian, Eurasian and Caucasian aged 20 to 50 plus. Ability to handle dialogues in English would be an advantage,” she said, adding that the movie would be in Bahasa Malaysia with 30% English dialogue. With the working title of TANDA Putera Negara, the movie will depict the bond between Malaysia’s second Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister and how “they remained focused on securing the future of the country even while battling their own fatal illnesses.” Tun Abdul Razak Written by producer and director Datin Paduka Shuhaimi Baba, it aims to portray how they brought the country back from the brink of disaster in the aftermath of May 13. “For the two leaders, it was always ‘Country First’ no matter what their own personal circumstances were,” she said, adding that shooting would begin in May. Kavita also said that visual effects consultant Madhu Sudhanan from Mumbai would assist the production team.

  • Penang Asks Cinemas Not to Screen Tanda Putera Malaysiakini.Com Aug 28, 2013 by Susan Loone
    Penang asks cinemas not to screen Tanda Putera MalaysiaKini.com Aug 28, 2013 By Susan Loone The Penang government will request cinemas in the state to not screen 'Tanda Putera', which is scheduled for release nationwide tomorrow. NONEState exco member Chow Kon Yeow, who is in charge of local government and thus cinema licences, said his department will issue the written request today. "We have no control over the content of the film, (which is the prerogative of) Finas (National Film Development Corporation Malaysia). "However, in view of the sensitive nature of the movie, we are directing the two local councils (in Penang and Seberang Perai) to write in to ask the cooperation of the cinemas to not screen the movie," he told a press conference. lim guan eng interview 160813 02Asked what would the state do if the cinemas refused to comply, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng (left), who was also present, did not provide a direct answer. "The film has scenes which are slanderous, based on lies, and it is a threat to the harmony between the different communities in the country. "Those scenes of Chinese youth urinating inside the Selangor menteri besar (Harun Idris') residence and Malaysian flag can create chaos in society," he said. He said the incident never happened because the residence was heavily guarded, as claimed by a witness who was at Harun's house at the material time. Licence to lie? Lim also took the mainstream media to task for failing to point out that the scene was a work of fiction. On film director Shuhaimi Baba's explanation that the filmmakers claimed "creative licence" to adapt historical events into the film, Lim said that it was not a "licence to lie".

  • A Citizen's Right 8 March 2013 Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad 1. It Would
    A Citizen’s Right 8 March 2013 Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad 1. It would seem that some people are unhappy over my continued involvement in politics. As a retiree I should just retire. 2. I did in fact plan to retire in 1998. But events at that time forced me to defer. When the conditions in Malaysia had been stabilised after the currency crisis, I announced my retirement in 2002. But I gave the assurance that I would continue to support the party at all times as my elevation to the highest office in the country was due to the support of the party. To me it is payback time. 3. Unfortunately, under the policy and practices of the Government which followed, the healthy growth of the country was hampered. The effect is still felt today. More seriously the attempts to reduce the economic disparities between the races have been neglected. Although the election of 2004 resulted in overwhelming victory of the governing BN party, there were clear signs that the popularity of the Party was deteriorating after the 2004 elections. 4. The 2008 Election resulted in heavy losses by the BN. The Government it formed was very weak and the opposition took advantage by raising racist and religious issues. Where before there was relative harmony between the races, now there is open confrontation. Affirmative action was viciously attacked by the opposition and the Government had to give in. And now religious issues are being even more politicised. 5. Clearly the opposition parties are bent on doing away with the attempt to achieve fair economic participation between the races.
