Abstract:
Writer and politician Nik Nazmi has always been vocal in articulating his vision for a better Malaysia. This compilation of over 40 essays written between 2001 and 2011 covers a variety of topics ranging from politics and economics to law and religion, and parallels his involvement in the politics of Malaysia. It provides a unique window into not only the author's coming of age but also of Malaysia's Reformasi movement, and is his clarion call for justice and freedom. "I do not in any way claim to be the exemplar of my generation - but if young Malaysians are to one day take on the mantle of leadership, if we are to move Malaysia forward, then we must stand up and articulate our vision for it.".
