Kee Thuan Chye and his friends will be at Silverfish Books on Saturday, 22 November at 5.30 pm to read excerpts from and talk about his book March 8: The Day Malaysia Woke.

The blurb for the book says: The day of the underdogs, the real Merdeka, a political tsunami, the perfect storm - by any name, March 8, 2008, will go down in history as a turning point in Malaysian politics.

This book is about that historic day and the change that came with it - an expression of hope for a brighter future, with many Malaysian voices speaking their thoughts frankly. There are also eyewitness accounts, interviews with key people, and articles never published before, written by fledgling and established writers.
