Prime
Minister of Malaya / Malaysia
31st August 1957 - 22nd September 1970
Good
day, everyone.
As
for today, we are still going to talk about Tunku Abdul Rahman. Dah namanya pun
blog pasal Tunku Abdul Rahman kan? Hehe.
Remembered as the "Father of
Independence", Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, had
recognised the vital importance of fostering cooperation among Malaysia’s
various ethnic groups as a way to overcome political problems. It was also
Tunku who envisioned the idea of Malaysia - a federation of Malaya, Singapore
(which later seceded in 1965), Sabah and Sarawak which was established in
1963. Tunku is also recognised for his elevation of Islam to the status of
official religion and he was instrumental in the setting up of the
Organisation of Islamic Conference in 1969, of which he was the first
Secretary-General. Perhaps Tunku Abdul Rahman’s greatest single achievement
was in giving Malaysians a sense of pride and nationhood. That’s all for
today. Thank you for reading.
