A land of colourful temples, bustling markets, golden beaches, and glorious sunsets, Malaysia's exquisite natural beauty is surpassed only by its luscious cuisine. This book celebrates the best of the Malaysian table: sizzling satays, flavourful stir-fries, fragrant rice and noodle dishes, aromatic curries, and Malaysia's signature hot and spicy condiments, the delectable sambals. For centuries Malaysia was a major centre of the spice trade in Southeast Asia. As seafarers, traders, and immigrant work-ers from many countries intermarried with locals, new culinary traditions emerged. Over time, Malay, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Indonesian and Arab, as well as Dutch, Portuguese, and British influences blended beautifully to create the melange of cultures and intensely vibrant flavours that is Malaysian cuisine today. Susheela Raghavan serves up treasured recipes, touching fam-ily stories, and fascinating notes about the origins of Malaysian food in this lovingly compiled collection. Features: Over 150 authentic, easy-to-follow recipes; 16-page colour photo insert; Detailed introduction to Malaysian history and its culinary origins; Guide to Malaysian ingredients and cooking techniques.

What happens after a country splits apart? Forty-seven years ago Singapore separated from Malaysia. Since then, the two countries have developed along their own paths. Malaysia has given preference to the majority Malay Muslims—the bumiputera, or sons of the soil. Singapore, meanwhile, has tried to build a meritocracy—ostensibly colour-blind, yet more encouraging perhaps to some Singaporeans than to others. How have these policies affected ordinary people? How do these two divergent nations now see each other and the world around them? Seeking answers to these questions, two Singaporeans set off to cycle around Peninsular Malaysia, armed with a tent, two pairs of clothes and a daily budget of three US dollars each. They spent 30 days on the road, cycling through every Malaysian state, and chatting with hundreds of Malaysians. Not satisfied, they then went on to interview many more people in Malaysia and Singapore. What they found are two countries that have developed economically but are still struggling to find their souls.

A powerful, life-affirming true story begins like a fairy tale come true when attractive, assertive and well-educated Patty Sutherland meets a handsome prince from Malaysia and they fall in love. At his insistence Patty converts to the Muslim faith so they can marry. They settle on an idyllic island resort he owns in the South China Sea. Soon their happiness is enhanced by the birth of a daughter and later a son. But as time passes, Patty begins to see another dimension of the man and the family into which she married: they are violent, amoral and involved with the Muslim extremist group which consorts in secret to bring down the West. Realizing she and her children have to get away, Patty tells her husband the marriage is over. Immediately, he snatches the children's passports and demands Patty leave the country alone or, he threatens, he will have her and the children killed.In the next years, as she travels between America and Malaysia trying to get custody, Patty sees that even with the excellent lawyer she has hired, there will be no justice since the all-powerful Islamic clergy close to her husband rule the religious court system.Finally, Patty realizes the only way to rescue her children is to smuggle them past the extremists guarding them. And she begins to plan, as the story accelerates with chilling momentum, their escape to freedom...a perilous journey.
