From his childhood in idyllic Sungei Buloh to the cream of the Malaysian Civil Service, Navaratnam has led a fascinating life. Following his childhood, we meet his parents, family, friends and colleagues, against a backdrop of the Japanese Occupation during World War II, his role in the Malaysian government and the corporate world right up to the person he is today. His life reflects the rapid changes that have taken place in Malaysia since Independence as his commentaries on public policies clearly indicate. Underlying his views is his deep sense of Malaysian nationalism. The charming memoir draws you into the peaks and troughs of an eventful life that has tried to achieve its full potential.
