It talks about how she has struggled to find her own identity, to defend her worldview at times and to reconcile them with his at others.\u003cbr\u003eShe tells the story of growing up as the daughter of Malaysia's most influential leader, from the values instilled in her as a child, right up to the day he was forced to step down as the 7th Prime Minister after leading the historic ouster of the government he used to lead.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48203418173598,"sku":"UBD-9789815017175","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9789815017175.jpg?v=1787834083","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9789815017175","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
