Description
Soo Kim, the young Malaysian Chinese in this story, had a superstitious dread of water. His whole religious background predisposed him to believe in fortune telling, fate and evil spirits. When tragedy came so close, he had to face the fact of death - and found the way to freedom.
Soo Kim stands for many young Malaysian like him. The incidents are typical of what is happening daily in Malaysia and Singapore, Elizabeth Goldsmith has built up an imaginative but true-to -life story from her own observations.
Malays and Chinese make up the population of Malaysia in about equal numbers, plus a minority of Tamil and Sikh Indians and aboriginal tribes people. FEAR OF WATER gives a good introduction to this fascinating country.
