Great recommendation for everyone, especially those who wants to know about how can the Great Sugar King from the East is in fact just a humble wellbeing.
For instance, his assertion that a former President of Indonesia, who was a well-known kleptocrat and dictator and was later overthrown by popular revolt, was "a nice and warm man, and highly dedicated to serving his nation" was vomit inducing.
But I can say by my instinct Highly Recommended!!! I am impressed by his tenacity to make "family" a cornerstone as his personal life.
I was captured from the very beginning with first hand recounts of the old Malaya, the impact of Western imperialism and the inequalities that came with it, the brutal Japanese occupation, and the post independence era.
The story of Asia's Sugar King is absorbing, and I found it difficult to put this book full of interesting anecdotes from his life and business down.
Facing your demons is what makes you a better person and earns respect from your readers.
