AN ICONIC moment in the history of Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) was replayed when family members of the late Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj and Tun Tan Siew Sin planted two trees.

Over 40 years earlier, Malaysia’s founding father had planted a tree on the campus of TAR UC in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, as a symbolic gesture.
