The reluctant politician

Some times ago, an uncle asked me to read a book : Tun DR Ismail - the reluctant politician. Emm last week masa dok melepak kat borders, tiba2 ternampak buku tu and baca la a few pages...
I kind of admire him .. I think he is really a leader... The way he worry much abt the country more than himself and even the party. How I wish we still have those politician nowadays .. Quote from him regarding Malay's special right from another blog

“This proved a less intractable problem because the leaders of the Alliance realised the practical necessity of giving the Malays a handicap if they were to compete on equal terms with the other races. The only point of controversy was the duration of the ’special position’ — should there be a time limit or should it be permanent? I made a suggestion which was accepted, that the question be left to the Malays themselves, because I felt that as more and more Malays became educated and gained self-confidence, they themselves would do away with this ’special position’ because in itself this ’special position’ is a slur on the ability of the Malays and only to be tolerated because it is necessary as a temporary measure to ensure their survival in the modern competitive world: a world to which only those in the urban areas had been exposed”.
