IN SEARCH OF NEW NATION BUILDERS


Visitors at an exhibition showcasing the life and times of Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman, held at the event in Dataran Merdeka, KL, on Aug 2 to commemorate the 50th year since the passing of the former deputy prime minister.

AT Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur on Aug 2, the government of Malaysia commemorated the 50th anniversary of former Deputy Prime Minister Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman’s passing.

Of the many events I have attended, this definitely counts as one of the most meaningful: the nation is in search of nation builders, again, and Tun Dr Ismail’s life stories and legacies provide a rare reference point.
