SINGAPORE: Former Umno MP Tawfik Ismail hopes to continue with some unfinished business involving his late father’s work as deputy prime minister, including matters pertaining to the review of the Malaysia agreement with Sabah and Sarawak.

He said his father, Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman, the country’s second deputy prime minister, was appointed to head the review committee 10 years after the formation of Malaysia in 1963 by then prime minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein.
