Dr M is referred to as the Father of Modern Malaysia.
You can take that to mean that he is credited for the state our nation is in.
Some 7 years into Dr M’s reign as PM, in 1988, Bapa Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman, shed some light on Dr M’s role in Tunku relinquishing the office of PM following the race riots of May, 1969, and the state of things in the country then, under Dr M.
What touched me most was the vow of this man, then aged 85 and plagued with illnesses, to continue to fight to restore democracy to this land.
And for those of you who do not know, he did, to his last breath, taking the pain of seeing the nation begin its plunge into the abyss it is now in, to his grave.
