Championing the Tunku’s liberal vision


LAST Wednesday, Feb 8, was the 114th birthday of Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Alhaj. That was also the seventh anniversary of the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS), the organisation that I work at today.

As always, we organised an event to mark the occasion. It was a successful dinner attended by more than 200 people from the private sector, Government, academia and civil society.
