About This Item
Subang Jaya, Malaysia: Care & Share Circle, 2015. First edition. Paperback. New. A history of the Sungai Buloh settlement, the second largest leprosarium in the world, from its origins in the 1920s to the present day. In that time the disease has been discovered to be treatable so that Sungai Buloh, instead of being the virtual prison that it one was, is now nicknamed by its patients as 'The Valley of Hope.' Since now they know that they have an expectation to return home to their families and friends, rather than being shut off from society. With many photographs and accounts of patients and staff. 272 pages. Weight 1.3kg Post free within Malaysia but will incur additional postage charges when posted elsewhere.

We only stock fiction and non-fiction related to Malaysia and the rest of Asia. Much of our current stock of over a thousand different titles is not available in Malaysia. Conversely much of our stock published in Malaysia is difficult to find outside the country. So if there\'s something Malaysia related that you\'re looking for, do please contact us and we\'ll do our best to help. At present details of most of our stock is not on line; we hope it will be eventually!
