| Bernama to launch coffee table book on Dr M Posted: 06 Nov 2011 03:08 PM PST KUALA LUMPUR: National news agency Bernama will launch the Che Det coffee table book on Thursday, depicting great moments in the career of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as the country's fourth prime minister and to complement ongoing efforts to document the shaping of Malaysia. The 418-page book, published in Bahasa Malaysia and English, will serve as resource material on national leaders and as a historical reference. The book contains more than 470 photographs taken from the time Dr Mahathir, or "Che Det" as he is affectionately called, took office as prime minister in 1981 up to after his retirement in 2003. "Bernama takes great pride in publishing this book in recognition of the enormous deeds and contributions to the people and country by Tun Dr Mahathir, who has carved for himself attributes such as Great Statesman, Father of Malaysia's Modernisation, Malaysia's No. 1 Salesman and Hero of the Third World," said Bernama deputy editor-in-chief Datuk Zulkefli Salleh, who led the editorial team of the publication. While most coffee table books are published for light reading, this pictorial is rich in information on the events during Dr Mahathir's tenure as prime minister, covering his role in association with parliamentary democracy, family, politics, social welfare, media, international relations and administration as well as his role as a statesman. Che Det will be launched by Dr Mahathir and Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim at the Palace of the Golden Horses Hotel in Seri Kembangan. An exhibition of material published in the book will be open to the public there. The book can be bought at the exhibition area or by placing an order directly with Bernama at RM250 per copy. — Bernama Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
