Pak Lah: Kind, gentle and exemplary leader

In solidarity: Abdullah also weathered economic setbacks during his years as prime minister.

THE passing of Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi saw many people sharing their personal moments and uploading their photos with him especially on social media. I have my fair share too as a journalist, especially the years he served as the foreign minister.

However, this column is not about a personal experience covering Abdullah during his service to the nation. I felt it is only right to highlight his work at Wisma Putra between 1991 and 1999.
