Synopsis:
Tun Abdul Razak Dato’ Hussein is remembered by Malaysians as the “father of development.” In fact he was closely associated with development and changing the mindset of the rural Malays since 1955 when he was acting as Chief Minister (Menteri Besar) of Pahang. His name is synonymous with efforts to ameliorate rural poverty through the construction of roads, bridges, community centres, adult education, clinics and midwifery centres and Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA). Due to his intimacy with the rural constituency commentators have pointed him as pro-Malay unlike the Tunku which many identified with multiculturalism. This book is available at the Perdana Library.
