Former attorney-general Tommy Thomas has not set out to win friends with his memoir, My Story: Justice in the Wilderness. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, February 15, 2021.

JUST released last month, My Story: Justice in the Wilderness struck a raw nerve with many. Within days of it hitting the bookstand,, the memoir of former attorney-general Tommy Thomas had not only elicited criticism from both Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his adversary, Anwar Ibrahim, but also a police report from former attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali and the threat of a suit from another former prime minister Najib Razak.
