Lake Malibu and other stories is a collection of short stories about various
people from a small Malaysian town connected by a theme of escapism. Through the
interlinked stories, we get to know the residents of Ipoh who struggle with
various entanglements such as filial obligations, societal pressure, and

In Lake Malibu, two young boys dream of greener pastures in a Western country.

settled down in Australia. The anthology is tied up by a final story - Camellias
