About this ebook
Musa Yahya is no hero. Just a civil servant who sees what others won’t: a slow, quiet collapse beneath Malaysia’s surface. When his warnings are dismissed and his reputation destroyed, Musa disappears from the headlines—but not from the fight.
From the shadows, he gathers those still willing to care: a scattered few with no power, no protection, and everything to lose. As the sea creeps in and the land gives way, their quiet resistance becomes the last hope for a nation unready to let go.
Farewell, Peninsular is a haunting tale of climate disaster, moral courage, and the fragile human bonds that endure when systems fail. Set in a near-future Malaysia fractured by denial and rising water, it asks what remains when the maps are redrawn—not by war, but by water.
For readers who loved The Ministry for the Future, Parable of the Sower, and Station Eleven.

About the author
Syuk Bash is a Malaysian writer of climate fiction, speculative drama, and emotionally resonant narratives rooted in Southeast Asian identity. His work explores the quiet choices people make in moments of collapse—where faith, memory, and human connection must stand against silence, bureaucracy, and time.
Farewell, Peninsular is his debut novel, a spiritual and cinematic love letter to Malaysia—its people, its fragility, and its strength. Drawing inspiration from disaster science, political realism, and the language of grief, Syuk writes stories that ask: What do we carry when the world forgets us?
When not writing, he works in urban design and visual storytelling, often blending data, culture, and emotion into one frame. He believes fiction should bruise gently—and leave something behind.
