An indepth and insightful story of Singapore's iconic drag queen & comedian, Kumar.  The book expresses his trials and tribulations – and answering many questions surrounding the enigmatic personality. ​ From Rags To Drag became a talking point upon its release, putting a spotlight on society’s prejudice against sexual and gender minorities. The book was part of the Singapore Book Fair and among the references in Routledge Studies In 20th Century Literature – Singapore Literature and Culture: Current Directions in Local and Global.

"​The book, written by former journalist Ivan Lim, not only celebrates his two decades as one of Singapore's most iconic performers but talks about his childhood, family and his rough start in the business. And, in it, Kumar confirms what is the worst kept secret in town... that he is gay." –  AsiaOne
