G. H. KIAT<br />
of an English education was a means or channel to earn a living,<br />
he came to their rescue and publicly stated that the English<br />
educated were quite alright and that they were good citizens.<br />
If one can point out with his finger the greatest deed of the<br />
Tunku in his office as the Prime Minister, it is his great and almost<br />
unbelievable ability and capacity to promote and create racial<br />
harmony among the races and weld them together for the common<br />
and greater good. If Communism is bad and destructive to the<br />
country, racial disharmony and discord is worse. In this, the Tunku<br />
can lead the country to success. When Malaysia is fully realised and<br />
is a reality, the Tunku has completed his biggest work and done the<br />
greatest good to this country as no one else has. He is, undoubtedly,<br />
both a real great leader and diplomat. When the history of Malaya<br />
and also Malaysia is re-written, the name of Tunku Abdul Rahman<br />
will occupy a very prominent place and will ever remain so.<br />
