Ucapan Pilihan. The first anniversary of our independence is indeed a memorable one, and I pray that it will be the same next year and all the years after.

To those people who have given their co-operation in the service of this country, I say the nation owes you a debt of gratitude. Let this country be an example to the rest of the world on how the various people of different races, with different creeds can live as one people, at peace with one another for the good of all. His Alliance Party won a sweeping majority in the election ofand Abdul Rahman became the first chief minister of Malaya.

In August, he used his first broadcast as chief minister to declare his determination in seeking independence from Britain without bloodshed. In JanuaryAbdul Rahman led a mission to London to negotiate for Malayan independence, in the end securing immediate tunku abdul rahman putra al-haj biography for Malaya and the promise of independence by August At midnight on August 30, he stood at the flagpole in Merdeka Square, in Kuala Lumpur, when the Union Jack was lowered for the last time and the new Federation flag was raised.

In Septemberwith his power slipping and Singapore gone from the Federation for five years, Abdul Rahman relinquished his post as prime minister. He died in at the age of Tunku was still President of the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur, with daily duties to perform drawing a government salary and living in government quarters. Tunku informed the Chief Justice of his intention to resign from government service.

In the eyes of the average UMNO member, Tunku was first and foremost the brother of the Sultan of Kedahand a member of a royal house, which carried some prestige within Malaya. Tunku had acquired a wealth of experience as a district officer in Kedah, which enables him to understand and sympathise with the problems of the rural population, who made up a large proportion of the UMNO membership.

At the time of Onn Jaafar 's resignation from the presidency of UMNOhe had predicted that the party would disintegrate within three months. But even before the end of that period, it became clear that although influential Chinese and some prominent Indians and Ceylonese had become members of Onn Jaafar's new party, very few Malays had done so.

Tunku held and expressed the view that Malayan communities could not be united within a single political party. He believed that each community needs its political party and its political leaders, and he was proven to be right. The first trial of strength between all the rival political parties took place in January On 6 OctoberSir Henry Gurney was killed in an ambush by communist revolutionaries.

Templer was to guide the people of Malaya towards the attainment of a United Malayan Nation. The policy had also called for the partnership of all communities. To put this new policy into effect, the government had agreed to hold elections at the Municipal and Town Council level, as the first step towards a democratic government, and Kuala Lumpur was chosen as one of the venues for the experiment.

All the existing political parties were prepared to contest. MCA was brought into existence in by two men, Colonel H. They quickly reached an agreement. Under the chairmanship of Col. The committee then began a vigorous campaign to enlist support for "The Alliance". News of the venture appeared in all the leading newspapers. Tunku was in Province Wellesley when he read the news.

Tunku was confronted by protesting political colleagues, but he told them that he supported the Alliance and Intended to help in the campaign in Kuala Lumpur. Tunku arranged a meeting with Onn. He brought H. Lee and Dr. Onn brought three lawyers and two Malay civil servants. Tunku tried to find some ground for compromise, but Onn was adamant and the meeting ended.

Tunku disagreed fundamentally with Onn's conception of a single political party consisting of members of all communities.

He knew by instinct that each community needed its political party. The challenge that lay before him was finding a way to unite the communal parties. Soon, the Alliance leaders met again to discuss their campaign. They drew up proposals that included a request for an elected majority and a firm date for the first elections. At the Legislative Council, when the demands by the Alliance were discussed, Onn told the Legislative Council that the holding of the elections should be planned as a gradual process and he questioned Tunku's demand.

Onn's remarks were relayed to the Secretary of State and damaged Tunku's image. Earlier in Julythe government set up a working committee to examine the possibility of holding State and Federal Elections. The committee was set up after Templer obtained the concurrence of Malay Rulers who at first were quite reluctant to accept such proposals due to their deep-rooted fear of what might befall them if Independence were granted.

When the names of the members of the Election Committee were announced, Tunku observed that a majority of them were Onn Jaafar 's supporters. During the discussion, the members found themselves in two groups. The majority approved certain recommendations while the Alliance minority disagreed and made their proposals. When the majority of recommendations were accepted and proposed by the Government.

Alliance representatives all over the country attacked the Government's proposals with a new rallying cry — ' Merdeka '. By then, recommendations had been forwarded to London, and Tunku in consultations with the Alliance leaders decided that they must ask for an interview with the Secretary of State in London. Tunku sent a long telegram to the Secretary of State asking him to meet a delegation from the Alliance.

On 14 Aprila reply was received from the Secretary of State who rejected the request for an interview. The decision was severely criticised both inside and outside the Alliance and it required great courage and determination for Tunku to proceed. Next were the financial problems. The response from UMNO members was swift. A quantity of money and even personal jewellery were handed to Tunku.

After some final travel arrangements, Tunku and T. H Tan left Singapore on 21 Aprilfor London. Tunku flew to London all too conscious of the doubts of his Alliance partners and the strong criticism from Government officials. Onn had abandoned his vision of an all-communities party and directed his attention to the Malay community. But Tunku also knew that he must act now if the granting of Independence was not to be delayed indefinitely.

London in mid-April was cold, damp, and cheerless. There was not even one press reporter to meet Tunku. Knowing their financial resources were limited, Tunku took T. Tan with him to Gloucester Road Hotel and booked a double room. He then telephoned his old friend, David Reeswho was now a prominent member of the British Labour Party. David Rees was a valuable and influential ally.

Tunku and Tan went to meet him the next morning in his chambers near the Inner Temple. David Rees promised to do everything possible to persuade Oliver Lyttleton to receive Tunku and his delegation. His persuasion proved to be potent, and on 24 April, Lyttleton agreed to meet Tunku. However, there was one problem. Lyttleton had arranged to leave for Uganda on an official visit on the following day and would not return until 10 May.

It was a long time to wait and it would be stretch their financial resources to the limit, but Tunku decided to stay on. Meanwhile, with David Rees's help, Tunku gave a press conference at which he explained the popular support for the Alliance. He then had meetings with members of parliament of all three parties. Tunku's relaxed manner, the fluency of his spoken English and his genial personality attracted his audience and provided ample justification for his mission.

When the contents of the 'Election Proposal' were released by the Colonial Office only then did Tunku discover that the Secretary of State had not accepted all the recommendations of the Election Committee. But Tunku was not satisfied. He had asked for at least 60 elected members. A substantial majority of elected members was essential. Tunku explained in detail the Alliance's views on the importance of a workable elected majority and the need for early elections, but the Secretary of State insisted that the Alliance try out the Colonial Office Election proposals.

Tunku pressed on further for an agreement on at least three-fifths of the elected majority but the Secretary of State wouldn't commit to his suggestion. Finally, the meeting came to an end. Tunku had to fly back on 20 May, to attend the debate on the Elections Committee proposals in the Legislative Council. A letter from the Colonial Office was delivered to Tunku's hotel room on 19 May.

It was beautifully phrased, but the contents could be summarised in two words — no change. The Alliance leaders accepted the view that the mission had achieved a measure of success. It was also agreed that the request from the Secretary of State to give the elections proposals a trial could not be accepted. They prepared a resolution which was drafted by Col.

Leerejecting the Colonial Office proposals. The next day, Tunku, Dr. Templer tunku abdul rahman putra al-haj biography the document without comment and then requested that the release of the resolutions to the press be delayed. At the Alliance Round Table meeting that night, the Alliance was adamant and the boycott went into effect. About a thousand Alliance members at all levels took part.

It was a subtle process with results that were not immediately felt, but which were cumulative. The boycott was widely criticised. Tunku decided that the Alliance should take the initiative and present their views first. That day, nearly 2, Alliance supporters assembled at the government office building in support of the proposals. Hogan and Gray then met H.

Lee in Kuala Lumpur and explained the motive of their visit. Lee then contacted Tunku and Dr. Ismail who was in Johor Bahru with the news. Tunku reacted positively to the compromise offered but he wanted further assurance from the High Commissioner himself. On 6 July, MacGillivray signed a letter agreeing to the Alliance's request after receiving approval from Lyttleton.

The Alliance then called off the boycott. Tunku and his colleagues travelled tirelessly to prepare for the coming trial of strength. Tunku took Tan Cheng Lock and H. S Lee with him whenever possible and in particular when touring the northern Malay states, and emphasised the importance of unity among Malayans of all communities. At each State capital, the Alliance leaders called on the Ruler and assured him of their loyalty and support.

It took the place of the 'Round Table' which had no executive power and Tunku was formally recognised as 'Leader of the Alliance'. The first two elections to State Councils took place late in in Johor and Terengganu. In both states, the Alliance won sweeping victories. Parti Negara did not capture a single seat. Tunku was now a popular figure in every state and almost every kampung.

He travelled constantly. The government had promised to hold elections to the Federal Legislative Council inand in March of that year, it was announced that Nomination Day would be in June and that 27 July would be Election Day. Many Malay government officers resigned to offer themselves as candidates. As nomination day approached, Tunku was plagued by demands that a high proportion of the candidates should be Malay.

Tunku brought the matter to the next UMNO Assembly and urged the tunku abdul rahman putra al-haj biographies to adopt what he called "a policy of racial unselfishness". Tunku's arguments were compelling and he won a unanimous vote of confidence. Almost at the eleventh hour, Tunku's repeated emphasis on the importance of unity during the elections brought him a bonus.

On Nomination Day, the Alliance entered a candidate in every one of the 52 constituencies. Parti Negara entered 30 candidates. Four other political parties entered a total of 29 candidates. Eighteen others stood as Independents. Two weeks before Nomination Day, Onn announced that he would stand in Johor Bahruand challenged Tunku to stand against him.

It was a tactical error. The Alliance let it be known that the Party would decide where Tunku should stand, and it allowed the headquarters to select a candidate who could be expected to defeat Onn. Tunku's resisted invitations to forecast the election results, but he let it be known that he was confident of an Alliance victory. It was only during the last week of the elections that Tunku toured his constituency.

Everywhere he went, he was promised total support. On polling day, after casting his vote, he drove himself on a whirlwind tour to constituencies in Kedah and then set off to Kuala Lumpur accompanied by T. H Tan. Tunku stopped at every main polling station en route and only arrived in Kuala Lumpur at 11 pm, making it possible for him to enter the town unrecognised.

Tunku always enjoyed the company of his friends but on the night of 27 July, he was exhausted and wanted to be alone. Tunku won with a majority of more than 20, votes, Sulaiman won with 5, votes and Dato' Onn only managed to secure 2, votes. Displaying 1 - 5 of 5 reviews. Hilmi Isa.
