Citizenship in Crisis analyses what is known as Project IC and how it was used to socially engineer Sabah from a majority non-Muslim society into a majority Muslim state and, for a period, UMNO’s fixed deposit. It explains the motivations behind Project IC, how it was carried out, and the impact it has had on Sabah in the present day.

BOOK LAUNCH: HEALTH, HARAPAN AND HEALING MALAYSIA BY DR SEAN THUM

26/09/2026

Thank you, Sabah readers, for all the lovely conversations and support at our booth.

From activist friends who came by to show their support, to readers from Brunei who stopped by to share their thoughts on Malaysian politics. One customer said Malaysia is a rich country, but its wealth isn’t distributed equally. Iya bah!

Also talked with one auntie who told us we’re “the only booth here where I have to force myself not to buy too many books.” 😂 She bought 6! She also shared how independent bookshops in Sabah have become fewer over the years. Hmm, maybe we should open one here? 🤔

Today is the second-last day to visit us at our booth, come say hi to Zhi and Raymond!

Haywire Histories: A Book Talk with Ng Yi-Sheng

How should we teach kids about national history? Maybe by focusing on the stuff they really enjoy: the silly, gross, and anarchic bits of the past!

Join Singaporean writer Ng Yi-Sheng, author of the Haywire Histories series, including Twisted Temasek and Crazy Colonisers, explain how he's trying to make history more fun—and a little more anti-colonial—for the next generation. The session will be moderated by Rahmah Pauzi.
