Glamorous, strong-willed, and supported by a loving family, Rabiyah has been groomed all her life for a career in politics. She wants to win fair and square, but behind the scenes, strings have already been pulled in her favour. When it’s her turn to make the rules, will she overhaul the system, or use it to her advantage?
Junid grew up in the shadow of his father’s imprisonment, and longs for a better Malaysia in which families won’t suffer like his. When he discovers by chance what Rabiyah has kept hidden for two decades, he decides to take drastic action.
Colourful, thrilling and written with great affection, The Prime Minister’s Secret is a story about passion, money, corruption, the bonds of family, and the ends that people will go to for power - or freedom.
