‘Shattered Hopes’ Author Romen Bose-Should You Migrate? Malaysia’s Messy But Europe Is (Much?) Worse
Romen Bose is a journalist, author and political risk consultant who has worked for media agencies like and helped former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
His book, ‘Shattered Hopes’, analyses what went wrong with Najib Razak’s disastrous election campaign in 2018 while offering some quite surprising allegations.
Currently living in the UK, Bose offers some equally surprising conclusions about life in the UK as an Asian professional, while also discussing his work in the geopolitical arena, in terms of the rising global tensions emanating from the Ukraine-Russia war.
