Legacy: Malaya’s independence came peacefully due to Tunku’s leadership of the struggle. — Filepic/The Star
FEB 8 was the 122nd birth anniversary of our nation’s founding father, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and National Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang paid warm tributes and reminded the nation that Tunku’s vision of peace, progress and unity still remains relevant.
Tunku was the driving force behind the peaceful transition of power from British colonialism to Malayan independence. Unlike many other nations of Asia and Africa where the tree of liberty had to be watered with the blood of martyrs, Malaya gained independence peacefully due to Tunku’s wise leadership of the struggle.
