The Fall of Malacca in 1511 was sudden, out of the blue and most unexpected. It constituted a nakba, a debacle in the Malay world. It is the single event that had a fierce impact on the Malay mind and its attitude to the others. No one can understand contemporary politics without understanding the nakba of 1511. In this book, the Fall of Malacca, the author attempts to bridge the gap between then and now. It will occur to the reader that the French were right after all...The more things change, the more they remain the same. But this book is not only about the Fall of Malacca. It takes a look at many related issues vis-a-vis race, religion, relationships, progress, nature of learning and in a way it explains the West total domination of world affairs in the last half millennia.

Her Replaced Husband ✓
Ever wonder, what if you get married to your fiance's twin brother? "I got wet in the rain but you get the fever instead. Is it like those cheesy romantic novels in which the wife gets bruised after the husband gets beaten? Or did you also enjoy the rain by getting wet in it?" He said. "I did. I like the rain," she murmured, showing eyes to him. "And I like the sunshine after it. The cute, angry, and gorgeous sunshine," he said, sitting beside her on the bed. "I don't know who made you a doctor. You should have been in an institute teaching everyone how to flirt with girls," she snarled at which he laughed loudly. "I am just flirting with my girl, mind it," he whispered sensually shifting his hand from her forehead to her cheek and gently caressing it. "Have you ever tried to break your boundaries, sunshine? Yearned to do something which you have forbidden on yourself. Hmm?" He asked. "Sunshine?" Yes?" She unknowingly replied. This guy was making her crazy and she despite trying her best was falling for him more and more. He snickered. So she was finally accepting the name he gave her. "You are very beautiful," he said, truthfully.Lengkap
The Lonely Millionaire Volume 1
"Siapakah penjahat sebenar?" Dia jarang tersenyum, tapi bila senyumannya muncul, ia bukan senyuman biasa. Senyuman itu penuh makna-seolah-olah dia sudah tahu sesuatu yang orang lain belum sedar. Suaranya rendah dan tenang, dengan nada yang jarang sekali meninggi, cukup untuk membuat orang dengar dan tunduk tanpa perlu paksaan. Zayn bukan jenis yang cepat mesra, tetapi dia punya sekumpulan kecil kawan rapat yang tahu bahawa di balik sikap dinginnya, tersimpan jiwa yang kompleks dan tajam. Dalam begnya, selain buku fail, ada sebuah buku nota kecil yang penuh dengan coretan rancangan dan strategi hidup-bukti dia bukan hanya bertahan, tapi merancang untuk menang dalam permainan yang lebih besar.

Rajah Versus Conquistador
A King's Gambit. A Conqueror's Ambition. A Battle That Will Shape a Nation. 1521, Cebu. The great Rajah Humabon rules with cunning, strength, and the favor of his ancestors. But when strange ships appear on the horizon-led by a man named Ferdinand Magellan-his world is thrown into chaos. These men bear steel, cannons, and a faith unlike any other. They speak of a God who rules over all kings. They promise alliance, power, and destiny. Yet in this land, power is never given-it is taken. As Humabon plays a deadly game of diplomacy and survival, a rival warrior, Lapulapu, rises to challenge both king and conqueror. Loyalties shift, swords are drawn, and an empire stands ready to claim the islands. But in a world where betrayal is a weapon as sharp as any blade, who will emerge victorious? Written by Kahlil Corazo, whose scholarly work lies at the intersection of the psychopathic Southeast Asian strongman and René Girard's scapegoat mechanism, Rajah Versus Conquistador is shaped by the author's deep connection to this history-having grown up in Pari-an, downtown Cebu, the heart of what was once Humabon's domain. For fans of Shogun, Dune, and speculative historical fiction, this gripping novel brings to life the forgotten struggle for the Philippines-a true game of thrones played not in fiction, but in history.Lengkap
