Lim Kit Siang - Malaysian First Vol 1: None But The Bold

Lim Kit Siang - Malaysian First Vol 1: None But The Bold

Lim Kit Siang, the DAP's de facto leader, is a widely misunderstood and little-known figure. He is a plague to some because his political opponents unjustly accuse him of being anti-Malay and anti-Islam. To his fans, he is a visionary who has spent his life to pursue his dream of a multiracial, multilingual, and multicultural Malaysia, a brave fighter for democracy and a country for all Malaysians, regardless of race or religion.

The audience, on the other hand, mostly sees the monster, not the man; the icon, not the real being. Lim Kit Siang is humanised in Kee Thuan Chye's biography. It depicts the narrative of the loud politician and the private family guy, with drama, humour, and passion – as well as some cheeky asides.

It addresses the strong tie he shares with his family, friends, and comrades, as well as the fights he has lost and won, the betrayals he has suffered, and the sacrifices he has made. Above all, it provides an in-depth grasp of what makes Lim Kit Siang unique.
