The only wisdom we can hope to acquire is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless, and that’s what I know of Asiah, says former Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail at the recent launch of Tan Sri Asiah Abu Samah’s biography in Kuala Lumpur.

“She is very humble and quiet yet asserts her dynamic presence often without saying a word,” says Dr Wan Azizah who officiated the launch of Tan Sri Asiah Abu Samah - A Woman of Substance.
