The nation evolved from a feudal colonial society into a singular, modern-day peaceful country. Malaysia's contributions to world affairs are significant, but as a country, it's often overlooked as a player on the world stage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDuring the past one hundred twenty years, Malaysia has made huge strides into the twenty-first century. The country's global evolvement from a shambled and discombobulated, piecemeal feudal system into a modern, unified powerhouse is a remarkable feat. Incredibly, despite undue external political pressures from the West and religious pressures from the Middle East, Malaysia has somehow mastered the technique of blending the best of the East and the West to form its own singular independent identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe characters in the short stories of \u003ci\u003eMalaya House\u003c\/i\u003e reflect the temperament and social commentary of the times as well as the gradual evolvement and eventual maturity of a developing nation. They also illustrate how the citizens of Malaysia have decided that they can get along, put past hatred and racism aside, and show the world that people from all persuasions can live in relative peace and tolerance with Islam as their central core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Mawson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595429750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595429752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Eric Mawson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435560644863,"sku":"9780595429752","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6106a781-5618-40b1-898d-65ad5bfd33c7.jpg?v=1777151195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/malaya-house-eric-mawson-9780595429752","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
