From 'Guthrie Dawn Raid' hero to beloved Mentri Besar


SHAH ALAM: Former Mentri Besar of Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim who breathed his last on Sunday (July 31) will surely be remembered for being one of the individuals who played a significant role in the Guthrie Dawn Raid on Sept 7, 1981.

Long before he led Selangor’s state government from March 13, 2008, to Sept 22, 2014, Abdul Khalid was already one of the most important men in the country’s history, mainly for his role in the dawn attack on the London Stock Exchange, which led to the successful takeover of Guthrie Corporation, a British-owned company.
