Recollections that ought to be read


HE is the first Iban to graduate with a university degree, the first to have an MA and then an MBA. It is always fascinating to read the story of a boy, born literally in the “wilderness”, becoming “somebody” one day. This is a book about an Iban boy who made his mark as an exemplary government officer and subsequently as politician, minister and corporate leader.

I find From Longhouse to Capital: Recollections by Tan Sri Leo Moggie fascinating. This is no ordinary book, for what the author went through is not an ordinary journey.
