At 10.30am on November 5, 2002, a 82-year-old man from Pahang passed away in his old comrades' house in southern Thailand ending a life that was to become an epitome of the true history of the struggle for independence of his and our - homeland.

No many people in his homeland knew about him anymore at that time but four years later, the posthumous biography of Kamarulzaman Teh or more affectionately known to his friends as Pak Zaman (1920-2002) has finally seen the light of day.
