PETALING JAYA: Former deputy public service director-general Datuk Dr Mohd Shahari Ahmad Jabar could have taken the easy way out at many junctures in his life, but that was not his style.
“Instead of going on a government scholarship, I chose to compete with other students to apply to the International Institute of Social Studies in The Hague,” the 76-year-old public service veteran told The Star after the launch of his book - Taking the Road Less Travelled: A Journey of Self-Examination and Discovery - by the Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan.
