In Towards the Horizon, the author records the changes in the lives of the working class in the rubber plantation from where he originatedseen from his point of view. Subtle and thought-provoking, the author invites the readers to recollect the plight of settlers in a rubber plantation in Malaya during the 1940s and their life thereafter all the way through to 2010s. Were the settlers treated fairly? From the plantation, where does the path of life lead to? Can a settler go against the odds to opt for a path other than what is destined for him? Can persistence change the destiny of a settler? A seventy-year-old epic tale of mixed emotions and ups and downs makes it a journey worth taking.
