The Beat meanwhile calls it the "first superlative graphic novel... easily the first comics masterwork of 2016"

Riotously funny, heartbreakingly beautiful, fizzing with provocative ideas... breathes life and intimacy into the multi-layered history of Malaysia and Singapore. Sonny Liew has produced a true masterpiece. " — Tash Aw  (The Harmony Silk Factory, Five Star Billionaire)
