SENATOR Tan Sri Michael Chen parachuted into politics in the 60s but has endured as a political personality. The Perak-born politician who ends his term as President of Dewan Negara next month spoke to JOCELIN TAN about a life spent in public service. 

EVERYTHING about Tan Sri Michael Chen suggests a man who is in control of himself – from his thoughtful manner of speech to his measured steps as he makes his way through the corridors of Parliament.
