The Publisher
Tan Sri Lim’s publishing efforts were strategic to the campaigns he orchestrated.
When Malaysia faced its blackest moments with the onset of the Asian financial crisis in 1997-98 he was concerned about the toll on the people. He worked to reach out and touch their hearts through the only way he knew – media. He produced documentaries awakening people to the solid foundation upon which his country was built. He helped to produce a book Hidden Agenda that gave people a fuller picture of how the financial crisis had been engineered to cripple burgeoning economies of East Asia, including Malaysia’s.
He felt very strongly that a global media controlled by the West did not understand the sensitivities or the intricacies that related to all things Asian. He published and distributed a journal New Voice of Asia as his contribution to provide an Asian perspective into the current affairs and rapidly changing socio-economic landscape of the region.
