I hardly touch local biography... However, this is a present from a friend. I appreciate the gift
and as such, here I am with the stories on Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary.
This is a thin book. (Less than 200 pages with pictures plus big
wordings) As such, a full concentration in reading can complete the whole
stories within 3 hours. Well, I am not saying this is a simplify biography. In
fact, the author covered almost everything about Tan Sri. A good example is how
the author traces Tan Sri’s ancestry back to the Afghania region and how they
ended up settling in Malaya. That chapter although sounds dull in the first
place. But, it is the details that complete the whole stories. In terms of
this, I would say the author did a great job. Thumbs up!
After reading the stories, I think we are very much fortunate
these days. Peoples like Tan Sri started in tougher environment. Yet, the local
tycoon not only survived. In fact, he was so successful in every aspect. This
is a story that inspires younger generation like me (Obviously, I am no more that
young, LOL). As such, I am rating it at 8/10. Although a thin book, it serves
its purpose and I hardly could find any flaws throughout the book. Big thanks
to my buddy for presenting this book to me. Thanks, kawan. Appreciate it…
