The Father of Independence of Malaysia

 Assalamualaikum and good day again.

 It had been 60 years for Malaysia been independence from British. Let us go through the years where
our first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj ibni Almarhum Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah II, leads a group of representative to London to hold constitutional talk in 1956. As a Malaysian, we should be proud of our ancestors struggle and effort to protect our country.
 As I was only been born to this world after Malaysia have achieve independence, we the young generation nowadays might not know how difficult life was before. So I would like to share several leadership value that we can learn from Tunku Abdul Rahman, the father of independence of Malaysia:

1. Choosing the right decision for future.

During his time where Communist Party was a threat, Tunku rejected pleas from the party to be treated as a legitimate party that would compete alongside other parties. During that time, many atrocities was committed including the assassination of British High Commisioner, Sir Henry Gurney, and terrorist attack on civilians and public infrastructure.

      2. Wins battle peacefully.

He also succeeded in winning our independence peacefully, as on 8 Feb 1956, Tunku and Alan Lennox Boyd signed the agreement which secure our freedom from British. When the clock struck midnight on August 31 1957, the Union Jack was lowered, signifying the end of British rule. After centuries under the colonial rule, the Malay peninsula stood on equal footing with other nations as an independent state.

      2. Be an advocate for unity and harmony.

To promote unity, Tunku took an active role in many regional and global initiative. He played the key role in the founding of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation for promoting solidarity among Muslim-majority country. He also played a major role in forming ASEAN.
