DEC 6, 2017 marked the 27th year after the demise of Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj (pic), our first prime minister. Tunku, as he was popularly known, will be remembered not just as one of the founding fathers of this beloved nation but also as a man who laid the foundation for a united Malaysia.
He could have taken the route of President Sukarno, capitalising on fervent nationalism to galvanise a nation and discarding all racial identities in the name of “Bangsa Indonesia”.
