With only two days to go before the 50th anniversary of the country's independence, here are some of my wife's cherished memories from meeting Malaysia's founding father, Tengku Abdul Rahman, at his Ayer Rajah Road residence in Penang long after his retirement.
As for me, the closest I ever got to meeting him was when he dropped by his alma mater, the Penang Free School, to declare open the Khutub Khanah Tunku on 29 Dec 1969. It was still the end-of-year school holidays but I made it a point to be present at the school. We were in awe of him, man!
