Bridging gaps in understanding with books


I RECENTLY finished reading two books. The first is A Policeman by Tun Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar (the current Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Sarawak) recounting his 14-year career with the Royal Malaysia Police, including his work with the Police Field Force fighting in the jungle against the communist insurrection and terrorism.

The second book is Life: My Story Through History by Pope Francis, who was appointed to the papal position more than a decade ago.
