Trail of Lights: Where He Walks, Will Leave Marks (Journey of Tan Yew Sing)

Some say he's an educationist first and foremost. Some say he's an entrepreneur. Others insist that he's a social activist driven by a deep unwavering desire to see a Malaysia that is just, equitable and fair to all who live here. The truth is, Tan Yew Sing's life encompasses all of the above. This book highlights his journey spanning public work focusing on strengthening the Chinese community within the country, to leading one of the nation's top tertiary private education institutes, shaping the skills of many young Malaysians in the past 35 years. With the spirit of national harmony, inclusiveness and democratic concepts, Tan has also worked actively in trans-ethnic civil society works to promote the reform as a pluralistic society to establish a harmonious civilization.

Written in a third person format, we get a glimpse of who Tan Yew Sing is, a true patriot who is unafraid to lead in his various capacities.
