The Book of Ham

This is the official biography authored by multi-awarded creative director and film director Paul J Loosley about the early life of Harmandar Singh and his infant years in the advertising business – a career he accidentally stumbled into.

Harmandar, or better known as Ham, has been a nightclub singer, an advertising copywriter, a teacher, a publisher, an event organiser, a humanitarian worker, a newspaper columnist, and a published author.

This book tracks Ham’s very colourful life in 11 sizzling chapters, from 1957 to his fateful time in London in 1986, covering his turbulent childhood on the East Coast of Malaysia to his outrageous life in Kuala Lumpur, and to his weird and wonderful time in London.

This is a must-have for anyone who thinks advertising and marketing might be the life for them, as either encouragement or discouragement.
