Dr M Launching His Memoirs

Kuala Lumpur: The much-awaited memoir by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, entitled "A Doctor in the House: The Memoirs of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad", will be launched by the MPH Group of Companies today.

MPH General Manager Ivy Tan said the 800-page book, priced at RM100 each, "will take readers on a journey known to very few outside Tun's immediate family."

"From his earliest memories of childhood, including at the time when Malaya's struggles through the sunset of British colonialism, World War II and Independence to his life as a doctor," she said in a statement.

She said the book brought to life the history of Malaysia "as seen through the eyes of one who often played a vital and, in later years, decisive role in the nation's growth and development."

The book is all about the former Prime Minister's frank, candid, often humorous, and occasionally unforgiving assessment of the times he lived through and helped shape, she said.
