Good afternoon, my readers. .
Today, we are going to talk about
Tunku Abdul Rahman contributions. For his contributions and sacrifices in
bringing the country from colonialism to independence, Tunku Abdul Rahman is
known as the Father of Independence. He became the first prime minister of the
Federation of Malaya from 1957 to1963, and of Malaysia from 1963 to 1970. His
leadership flair also unfolded in England. Realising the Malay students there
were not represented by any organisation, he established the Kesatuan Melayu
Great Britain (Malay Association of Great Britain) and became its first
secretary. See. How responsible he is in brings up the Malays. Good job, Tunku . His attempt at completing his law
studies at the Inner Temple in England in 1938 came to a halt due the outbreak
of the Second World War. He resumed his studies eight years later and came home
with his legal qualifications in 1949. The political awareness he gained while
making friends with people from various nations in England did not go to waste,
when he was made chairman of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO)
soon after his return. Oh my god. He is one of good idol for us? Don’t you
think so, readers? Okay. Let’s continue. On August 26, 1951, Tunku became the
UMNO President succeeding Dato' Onn Jaafar. He travelled all over the country
meeting people from all walks of life to promote unity. His efforts in
overcoming the country's political problems by way of cooperation among the various
ethnic groups saw the birth of the Alliance Party in 1955. Under his
leadership, the Alliance won the country's first general election in July 1955.
He really can impress people like me. He is so talented. Tunku was then
appointed the country's Chief Minister and Minister of Home Affairs. In 1956,
he led a mission to London for a discussion with the British government
concerning the independence for Malaya. The meeting resulted in the signing of
the Independent Treaty at Lancaster House in London on February 8, 1956 and
consequently, the independence of Malaya in August 31, 1957. Tunku was then
elected as the first Prime Minister of Malaya, and led the Alliance to victory
in the 1959, 1964 and 1969 general elections. See. He had a lot of contribution
for his people. We really need to appreciate what he had did to our country.
Thank you so much, Tunku Abdul Rahman.
