More than a simple meal

KUALA LUMPUR: It was to be a simple meal celebrating a man with simple tastes but guests at a lunch honouring Father of Independence Tunku Abdul Rahman came away with much more than enjoyment of the delicious dishes prepared by his former cook Salmiah Mat Isa.

It turned out to be a meaningful afternoon of shared reminiscences of a country enjoying its fledgling independence and glimpses of how it has grown.
