Juxtaposed against Apandi, TT is a towering presence in terms of prestige, intellect, integrity & independence.

A ‘good read’ or ‘bad read’ is up to individuals to decide. ‘Triumphant’ success or ‘miserable’ failure can’t be attributed to any single person either in public governance scenarios. Neither did TT aim to ‘seek commendations/ significance’ for writing about his experiences. It is after all just a candid memoir!

John Berthelsen were few foreigners who had been expelled by the racist Malays n bothered to write about it. But tommy certainly did not learnt his lessons that the melayu would b after his blood if not his assets. Since Razak overthrown tengku, no non Malays dared to hit back at the Malay supremist like Tommy n got away with it. Mys is a failed state n the law enforcement, authorities, governments r the most corrupt. Only consolation is non Malays insist that all government agencies and Malay owned businesses should employ 30% of non Malays to b in par with non Malays being forced down their throats to employ 30% of half baked n lazy Malays.

Pakatan Harapan was the last hope for Malaysians to have a government accountable to the people. Unfortunately, when you have a whole lot of people shining on borrowed robes, it's difficult to see the "emperor's new clothes" until everything is gone and Malaysians work in Indonesia as maids and drivers.

TT admitted to have failed in his capacity as AG so in simple words he is a failure.. Someone who failed miserably should not seek commendations nor significance thus his book could only be considered as a 'good read'.
