Are the great acts, feats and deeds of traditional Malay heroes always pure in motive? Is there an awareness that there are conflicts between certain fundamental traditional values? Are these values fettered by the feudal past? These are but some of the questions answered by the author.

Reactions from the public to Shaharuddin bin Maaruf's theses may differ; ut, in all, readers will certainly attain a better understanding of Malay politics and cultural life.

A book for all thinking Malaysians.
