Until the end of his life he'll remember as one of the good leader we ever had since. No one doubt it! even our recent leader beat him much imposibble. There is something about Tun which we can't expect what he was think about. Every steep that he makes will come-up with a new era.
Here some quote from The man who makes us proud..
On the Anglo-Saxon race:
"The European use to call us lazy Malays, incompetent Malays, untrustworthy Malays, we couldn’t say a thing about you [the Anglo-Saxon race]. So when I was in the position to say what we think about you, and say it then and then you don’t like it. When you say it to us [what you think], you expect us to like it? We didn’t like it, but we didn’t have a way to make our voices heard."
On democracy:
"If you look at the history of the West, they come up with all kinds of ideologies and they use it for sometimes and they found it defective and then they dropped it and start on another. One day they will forget about democracy, because in some countries democracies actually end up in anarchy and they were practically no government. It’s not the system that can feed everybody. You must have a certain understanding of the limitation of democracy in order to make it work."
"The great civilization of the past did not have democracy and yet they became great. It’s not necessary the system that will work for everybody. If we had a bad leader even in the democratic system would fail. You must remember that it is a democratic country which dropped the atomic bomb and killing two hundreds thousand peoples."
