Help Palestine [hidayahnet] The happiest PM in the world

 

 The happiest PM in the world

The Tunku once described himself as "the happiest prime minister" when he was interviewed in 1983, by Peter Hastings, the foreign editor of the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH).
Today, as we read about Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, and the tactics used against the rakyat, NGOs, civil liberty groups and the opposition, we see a man who resorts to foul play, even breaking the law if necessary, to prolong his political career and that of his party, Umno.
tunku abdul rahmanPerhaps, what the Tunku (left) possessed and what his successors lack is a sense of humour. Behind the calm purpose of his jokes, Tunku was able to show his spirit of tolerance.
Tunku laughed when Hastings reminded him of the time an Islamic group had sought the Tunku's support for adulterers to be stoned to death and he had replied: "There are not enough stones in Malaysia."
In his biography, 'Tunku: His Life and Times', the Tunku is described as looking resplendent in his morning coat and top hat, when he posed with Think Big, the race horse which won the Melbourne Cup in 1975. Just before he went up to receive the winner's trophy, Tunku swopped his top hat for a black songkok and as the cup was placed in his hands, said: "I thank God for our victory", a phrase which he repeated later that night at the Victory Cup Ball.
