Jasmine Leong is the heiress apparent to Phoenix, her family’s billion-ringgit
company known especially for its pork snacks. When her grandmother, the great
Madame Leong, unexpectedly passes away, Jasmine discovers she is actually a
Malay Muslim and this newfound identity threatens to upend her life and
ambitions.
Finding herself at the centre of a political controversy, and caught between two
men who love her, The Accidental Malay examines the human cost of a country’s
racial policies and paints a portrait of a woman unwilling to accept the fate
history has designated for her.
'A novel both generous and scathing; both honest and nuanced; both grounded in
human emotion and engaged with history and politics' Preeta Samarasan, author of
