Books by Jim Baker

9. Take a day trip by cab or bus into Johor Bahru , in neighboring Malaysia, a thirty minute trip if there are no delays.  The food there is even better and you will learn some political science.  Read this book for background on both countries.  Read Lee Kuan Yew.

2. Jim Baker, Crossroads: A Popular History of Malaysia and Singapore. I loved this book and found every page gripping, it is hard to see how it could be better than it is.  One of the best books of last year, it turns out.
