Just wanted to let you know that the 20th anniversary edition of my father’s biography has just been published and is out in the shops. It has a new, much-friendlier, name: A Prince Called “Charlie” which I’m sure my father would have liked.
The book is mosly unchanged but does cover the last decade of his life. There’s also a new introduction from me and a Foreword by Dina Zaman.
As you can see, the book has received several great endorsements. My father did live a remarkable life and, by writing it and republishing it, I want to share his story as widely as possible. I do hope you get to read it.
For as Tun Mahathir says: “Not to record his riotious life would be a pity.”

I have just finished reading it. I would say that in it there are very well narrated insights about somebody I have not known before but as a reader I have made acquaintance with the persona along the reading journey.
Thanks for writing.

Dear Tunku Halim,
Bought the book at MPH Senai airport during a short trip to Penang. And what an exciting page turner it was. A look into the history of Negri9 and a different Malaysia that most wouldn’t ever know. I wished the book didn’t finish at the last chapter. Thank you for the experience.

Apologies for the very late reply. I do wish the book and his life carried on a bit more too! Thanks for reading it.
