They wanted a 60/40 deal which mean I will be selling the books to them at below my printing cost! So for the time being, while I look for distributors, I handle all the orders from my house.Robert Rizal Abdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520830733695053151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587173796684748615.post-71793082576633271252008-12-16T09:54:00.000-08:002008-12-16T09:54:00.000-08:00Where can I buy your book in KL?Where can I buy your book in KL?David Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185379046787204351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587173796684748615.post-84598038993394429852008-12-14T13:01:00.000-08:002008-12-14T13:01:00.000-08:00Thanks Rano.

He told me about the PAT's book launch the previous day. When I told him I was launching mine in a short while, he looked genuinely surprise and said it would have been great if it could have been done together with PAT's book launch.<BR/><BR/>Well, to me it was a small matter. The most important aspect was letting the people here in West Malaysia know about my books.<BR/><BR/>It was in the news on TV and in the papers (Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia).<BR/><BR/>Now, the bigger challenge is to get my books into the mainstream markets throughout the country. Any offer of help is welcomed.Robert Rizal Abdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520830733695053151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587173796684748615.post-49925651045448208372008-12-13T08:44:00.000-08:002008-12-13T08:44:00.000-08:00I stand corrected.

PM said during the launch more servicemen should write about their experiences during service. Obviously PM has not heard about you, Tuan.<BR/><BR/>We in Malaysia we do not appreciate the sacrifices written by heroes, especially if the hero is not a Malay, even more if the hero is not a Muslim.<BR/><BR/>I am a Muslim first and a Malay second, but my pride in my race or religion should not interfere with my judgment/treatment of other races.<BR/><BR/>Someone commented in my blog perhaps the Sarawak Constabulary, the precursor to Sarawak Rangers, should be revived.<BR/><BR/>It's high time we Sarawakians determine our own fate.Ir.
