Give veterans their dues

I REFER to the letter “Forget not their deeds” (The Star, Aug 11).

I congratulate the writer, Datuk A. M. Ahmad Tejuddin, for bringing up the matter and I would like to describe his letter as a wake-up call to the Government, politicians and all Malaysians to remember and respect the people who contributed their blood and lives to enable us to enjoy our good life in peace and harmony today. Do some politicians actually know their history or are they simply ignoring it for the sake of their political agendas?
