What the heck is this guy writing? A former group managing editor of New Straits Times???? Gosh, he cannot even differentiate between a biography and an autobiography?

I quote:
Of course, Thomas' book is self-serving as that is the nature of authorised biographies. Even if one is not too keen on the contents of his book, he deserves to be recognised for making an effort to add to the nation's body of work.

Are you telling me that one can review a book without even reading it??????
