Malaysia Mania

Praise for this and previous books of Dean Johns’ weekly columns for Malaysiakini.com:

“..a style of writing that – trust us – will make you smile, laugh, sigh, curse or roll your eyes up as you go along. This is a book to be read once and taken out again at regular intervals by all those who wish to reminiscence, regret, rejoice and celebrate together with that curious species known as Malaysians.”
-- S. Vicknesan, former Opinions/Features Editor, Malaysiakini.com

“In years to come scholars researching the tumultuous cultural, social and political transformations distinguishing the period leading up to and immediately after Malaysia’s 12th general election will discover within these pages a rich lode of scintillating insights, along with a treasure trove of belly laughs.”
-- Antares, magickriver.blogspot.com

“Even though he is born in Australia, Dean is a Malaysian at heart, Dean knows Malaysian politics more than Malaysian politicians themselves... (and) his sense of humour is not only a threat to Barisan Nasional under the Najib/Rosmah regime, but sometimes a threat to my cartoon too!”
-- Zunar, award-winning Malaysiakini cartoonist
