Incorruptible."<BR/><BR/>It's almost impossible for any human to be without flaws. But to stand up for principles is already exceptionally rare, esp when stakes are high.Hi&Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518147608789804432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-80927994247459224452007-05-28T20:13:00.000+08:002007-05-28T20:13:00.000+08:00I just started reading the book.

I have a feeling that your father would know something about it since he was in the thick of things at the time. What do you think?

Next time we meet, I hope we can discuss how the translation sounds to your ears. Is the language used by Bashir Basalamah, a Singaporean Malay, very different from Malaysian Malay anno 2007? And if so, does the difference make it interesting or not?<BR/><BR/>I was also happy to read your father's reminiscence about TDI...<BR/><BR/>The Reluctant Politician is not meant to be the final word on TDI. I hope more and more will be said about him in the near future, and that, as in the review by Johan Saravanamuttu of the book in the present number of Aliran, we will continue discussing TDI's legacy, and in the process bring life back into it, and make it relevant again.<BR/><BR/>Warm Regards,<BR/>Kee Bengooikeebenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513657787465927001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-65966524686660065092007-05-27T18:15:00.000+08:002007-05-27T18:15:00.000+08:00a great melayu! ultra ataupun tidak TDI seorang me...a great melayu! ultra ataupun tidak TDI seorang melayu yang gagah berani. beliau menjadi kebanggaan bangsa yang gemilang dan cemerlang tanpa perlu slogan sedemikian. seorang melayu glokal. a towering malay. among the politicians, Tun Dr Ismail was one of the last ones.<BR/>dr mahathir is only living towering, glokal malay yang terbilang, gemilang dan cemerlang. adakah beliau disanjung tinggi oleh AAB dan pengikut2 beliau yang dicucuk hidung mereka?<BR/>tepuk dada, tanya selera.LUBOK MELAYUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498595055144255526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-75331998536446023362007-05-27T13:25:00.000+08:002007-05-27T13:25:00.000+08:00dear mdm aina,ever since his death in 1973, there ...dear mdm aina,<BR/><BR/>ever since his death in 1973, there was no biography about TDI, until this year.
