Malaysia on my Mind,
By
This review is from: Malaysia:A Pictorial History 1400 - 2004 (Hardcover)
Having been a frequent visitor to Malaysia for the past 27 years, this book presents a very detailed and comprehensive pictorial history of Malaysia. Unlike many books, it divides the various states and cities into separate sections thus one can follow their progress and development as the history of Malaysia unfolds. It emphasizes the important states and cities throughout various periods. Penang,as the important state during the early days and ending up with Kuala Lumpur in the late 20th century. This book captures the sound, aroma and the color of Malaysia as seen thru the hawker stalls, rubber plantations, the stately houses, and the padangs. Old pictures of Penang and its capital of Georgetown show the splendor of Beach Street, Northham Road, and the beaches that still exist for the most part today. After viewing this book, the reader will come to two conclusions. The book is sufficient to feel that one has visited Malaysia or it will urge a person to visit Malaysia to pursue the aftermath of the book. This is a book that should be part of any collection about Southeast Asia.
