Summary
This book is about the history of Sarawak`s oldest political party, which started as an anti-Malaysian left wing group and ended up as a member of Malaysia`s long running Barisan Nasional governing coalition. Despite this, the party, with its mainly Chinese political base, managed to keep its supporters, while other Chinese parties of a similar vintage lost theirs. The author explained the journey of the party based on period from its formation in the 1960s to the state elections of 1991.
