<strong>TRIBUTE</strong> TO TUNKU <strong>ABDUL</strong> RAHMAN It is against this supremely unfavourable background, covering more than fifty years of neglect and a decade of terrorism that we should view what follows and, bearing these obstacles in mind, assess the magnitude of the achievement. Early in 1956, six months after he had been elected Malaya's first Chief Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman conceived the idea of organising a "Festival of Culture" in Kuala Lumpur, in which the old Malay dances, dramas, ceremonies, games and passtimes could be revived, and presented side by side with those of Chinese and Indian origin. He entrusted Enche Ya'acob bin Abdul Latif and the staff of the Information Service with the task of discovering the veterans of an earlier generation of actors and actresses, dancers, musicians, puppeteers and the like and coaxing them back to the foot lights. Although burdened with a multitude of other problems, Funku Abdul Rahman found time to inspire with his personal enthusiasm and infectious goodwill and charm those who, at the outset, lacked sufficient faith in his capacity to work miracles, and by June a galaxy of long forgotten gaiety was assured and a new word "PESTA" had been added to the Malay language. The Lake Gardens took on the appearance of a Royal Demesne during high festival, with eleven separate stages, skilfully sited out of ear-shot and view of each other, and when Tunku Abdul Rahman was poled down the lake in a royal barge to open the Festival at dusk on Friday July 13th. eleven different programmes entertained an immense cosmopolitan audience who moved from one stage to another until the lights were turned out at midnight. This continued for three nights in succession, while Top Spinning, (King sized from Kelantan), Kite Flying, Sepak Raga and other traditional Malay passtimes could be seen each afternoon. The phenomenal success of "Pesta" lay not only in the achievement of Tunku Abdul Rahman's ambition in July 1957 101
