 One cannot talk about the Opposition Party in Malaysia without mentioning Dr Tan Chee Khoon-once known as Mr Opposition. He is the Opposition. No one deserves that title as much as he. Tan Chee Khoon: From Village Boy To Mr Opposition is an awe-inspiring and insightful self-portrait of a man who is indeed the living embodiment of the Malaysian suc cess story. It describes his very humble beginnings in a small Chinese settlement in 11th Mile Cheras to become the most revered and widely respected of statesmen. This book covers his education at Kajang High School, Pudu En glish School, Victoria Institution, and later at the King Edward VII College of Medicine in Singapore, to his subsequent involvement in politics, including his relationship with the il-fated Labour Party and his endeavours to keep the concept of multiracialism alive. It is a book about the life and times of Dr Tan Chee Khoon by the man himself-a Malaysian politician who is widely regarded for his continuing efforts to avoid the poli tics of ethnic chauvinism through the promotion of multiracialism.
