A Malaysian hero passed away last week, sadly, unbeknownst to many. Tan Sri Ahmad Noordin Zakaria continued to talk the talk and walk the walk of personal integrity and public accountability long after he retired as Auditor-General in 1986. SHAILA KOSHY reports.
HE WAS physically a small man, just slightly over five feet. He was a familiar sight in the Section 11 neighbourhood in Petaling Jaya where he lived. But not many recognised this frail human being in his twilight years as he sauntered about with his walking stick.
