Read it:
Malaysia, from the tin wars of the 1870s to the courtrooms of 2026, and the decades in which a fast-growing country paid for its politics with patronage and its patronage with public money. The book opens on trafficking camps on the Thai border, kept quiet for four months, then follows a sovereign fund whose debts the treasury is still paying, a timber state with one chief minister for thirty-three years, police officers detained over alleged links to a syndicate, and an attorney general's power to end a case without a verdict. Covers Najib Razak and 1Malaysia Development Berhad, Low Taek Jho and Goldman Sachs, Rosmah Mansor and a schools solar contract, Abdul Taib Mahmud and Sarawak's forests, and Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and the Yayasan Akalbudi case.
