I didn't want to post this picture yesterday on account of it being the 31st of August, the day when Malaysians celebrate Merdeka or Independence Day. But today should be okay, right? No sensitive toes to tread on. This picture showed a very down-to-earth Prime Minister with a very down-to-earth problem. This wouldn't happen nowadays. A present-day Prime Minister, or even one of his minnows, would have been whisked away quickly in another car and the shit left behind for others to pick up. Not THIS Prime Minister, though. He would prefer to stay and wait for the car to be repaired. He even turned down an opportunity to use a private car in the background as the driver had offered to loan it to him so that he could continue his journey to Fraser's Hill.
No, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1957 till 1970, did not want to leave that poor man stranded instead of him. Yes, Tunku Abdul Rahman was a very considerate man. Absolutely no airs about him. Bless his soul.
