The Tiger That Lost its Roar: A Tale of Malaysia's Political EconomyDescription
Tony Pua was elected as the Member of Parliament for Petaling Jaya Utara in March 2008. He's currently the National Publicity Secretary of the Democratic Action Party (DAP). Tony has played a leading role in exposing the scandals of the Barisan Nasional government. For proposing to improve the current housing discount scheme for bumiputeras to better benefit the poor, Tony received a death threat in the form of an M-16 live bullet. For questioning the multi-billion ringgit deals by the Ministry of Defence, he was accused as being a foreign spy. For fighting political cronyism, he was sued for defamation by SYABAS. Tony's first English book tells the tale of Malaysia's politics is deeply intertwined with our economy. He backs his thesis that corruption, cronyism and abuse of power are crippling our ability to compete in the global economy with facts and figures. His insights tell of how Malaysians can fulfill our potential and make a difference for our future generations.
