another book added into my wishlish, 'The Reluctant Politician: Tun Dr Ismail and His Time'.
one of the quotes i found interesting from the book, said by Tun Ismail himself,
i already heard stories about Tun before, from a friend i met at the airport. he personally expressed his interest in the politician, saying by far, Tun was the best Malaysian politician, even more than Tun Mahathir himself. at that time, i could not convey any opinions, since that was the first time i've heard of the name. hopefully, the next time i meet him again, i have gone through this book, and then we can discuss in length about Tun Ismail.
one of the quotes i found interesting from the book, said by Tun Ismail himself,
Why did we fight for Merdeka? So that the different races can be divided? That can't be the way, right? That can't be why all these great Malay and Umno leaders fought for this ... Something is wrong... I hope the new discussions will start. Why are we building Malaysia? What Malaysia are we building? What kind of symbol is Malaysia supposed to be?
