That is, until the occupants of what is now known as the Muhibbah Centre for World Peace are joined by Salmah, a Malay Muslim woman. \"All are welcome here,\" they are reminded by their spiritual leader, Cyril Dragon, who is ignoring news of the changing political climate with its increasing religious intolerance. He is still trying to forget May 13, 1969, when ethnic tensions boiled over into bloodshed. \u003ci\u003eTale of the Dreamer's Son\u003c\/i\u003e guides us from that fateful incident in Malaysian history to the present day.
