Rantau is Tok Mat’s territory

Down to earth: It is common to see Mohamad riding his motorcycle around Rantau town.

RANTAU’s Jalan Besar got its first and only traffic light some 10 years ago when Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan was in his second term as assemblyman and Negri Sembilan mentri besar.

There was never actually a pressing need to have one in this town, built on tin and rubber, where life has always moved at a snail’s pace.
