1819. That was the year Stamford Raffles landed at South Point and founded Singapore. It was also the year that the famous Muslim saint Habib Nuh came to Singapore from Penang.
The story unfolds the tense and colourful relationship between the two significant figures in Singapore's history between the early and late 1800s. The book also highlights other characters who shaped the social, economic and political development of the Malays in Singapore back then: Sultan Hussein, Temenggung Abdul Rahman, Wak Cantuk, Munshi Abdullah, William Farquhar and John Crawfurd.
