Growing Up in KL

"Growing Up in KL: 10 Years of the Bangsar Boy" is a compilation of Niki Cheong’s articles from his decade-long column in The Star. Niki reflects on the process of sifting through more than 400 articles to put together the book, and shares his observations about how Malaysia evolved over the past 10 years from the vantage point of a kid growing up in the city.
