Alaaa takde plak cerita pasal dawn raid tu. Rahsia kerajaan kot. Buku ni lebih kepada short stories je, font besar, kertas glossy yg tebal, tak sampai sejam dah habis baca tu pon nyambil² tengok TV, settle bab anak. Bacaan santai. Tips jadi ceo dari kacamata beliau. Memang seorang yg good fighter, risk taker👍

Great short book on leadership. Find the best people, be willing to learn new things, know things inside out, and most importantly turun padang.

Ah-ha. I picked it up solely because of its cover and thanks Dato' because it is not a bad choice. You inspired me. Simple, elegant, precise and understandle. It also comes with interactive pages where you can scribble on it or jot down notes to make evaluations.

It is a book where you learn a bit about his life, his struggle and effort to rise as on one the notables CEO in Malaysia. You can learn a lot from him.

I enjoyed reading the book – concise, funny and very inspiring. Liked the way the author drew on his experience and emotions to convey his advises; - made it very genuine and relatable.

A much recommended read! Could be a worthy souvenir to young adults (especially students) to inspire and motivate them to strive for more!

The graphics of the book is good.
The way quotes are being highlighted in bold typography.
But there are some letters hidden due to the books folding but still it is readable =)

I picked up the book at mph solely based on the layout, which is very Paul Arden-esq.
