Subang Jaya, Malaysia: Pelanduk Publications, 1991. First edition. Paperback. Very Good. Yet another rags to fame story. Sometimes one wishes for a little more originality when choosing a title for a biography. Tan was another of the forgotten independence period politicians whose efforts have largely been sidelined in the more racially motivated forces that took a more central role in Malaysian politics. He played a central role in the Labour Party of Malaya which did not fare too well at elections, but did become a member of the Socialist International. 331 pages. Please see the scan of the contents page for further details. Weight: 0.5kg. Post free within Malaysia Still in the publisher's shrink wrapping. Externally the only defect is a bit of minor spotting on the text block.

Description:
Petaling Jaya Selangor, Malaysia: Pelanduk Publications (M) Sdn Bhd, 1986. Paperback. Very Good. The stunning victory of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) in the Sabah state elections of April 1985 set in motion a chain of events unprecedented in Malaysian history. In this book Tan Sri Dr. Tan Chee Khoon charts the origins of PBS from December 1984 when Pairin Kitingan, a popular Kadazan leader and former Berjaya official successfully defied Chief Minister Datuk Harris Salleh by winning a by-election in Tambunan. The reasons for the unexpected victory of the newly formed PBS in the following State elections are also discussed as are the subsequent actions of the defeated ruling party and the beleaguered PBS state government. 257 pages. For further details, please see the scanned contents page. Weight 0.6kg. Post free within Malaysia The cover has minimal wear and the spine is not creased. The binding is tight, the text is clear and there is no tanning throughout.
