Ku Li: A Lifetime Of Service.

1. Tengku Razalegh's consuming aim is to see that his Malay race is equal to any other race everywhere.

2. Although born of nobility the man is filled with a never ending sense of noblesse oblige.

3. He's always seeking ways to improve the economic lot of his race without robbing Peter to give Paul. Without a doubt that principle was ingrained in Tengku Razaleigh by his late father Tengku Hamzah. Never take the rights of others.

4. The unending search for ways to improve the life of Malays and the lot of the country leads him to hold frequent discussions with luminaries. Both Malays and Non Malays. He's not averse to good ideas no matter where they come from. He believes in pragmatism. He doesn't care if the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice.

5. He holds meetings with eclectic groups picking on their ideas. I have attended several of these meetings. I, a DAP MP at that time, was continuously humbled to be included in such meetings. Doubtless he believes in the concept of a unity government.

6. His willingness to do public service, saw him elected as MP for Ulu Kelantan, now Gua Musang in 1974. He has never lost since.

7. Under his watch Gua Musang has grown by leaps and bounds. From having one primary school and one secondary school, it now probably has more than 40 of the former and at least 10 secondary schools.

8. It has KESEDAR, a field force camp, public housing, hospital and a felda scheme. It now has a sekolah Menengah Agama. A train connects Gua Musang to major towns.

9. The transformation of GM is spectacular. It used to be dominated by Chinese, but now Malays are the majority.

10. But being the majority shouldn't lead the Malays into a false sense of security. The real determinant for success, is the right mental attitude and values set.

11. How clever you are, if your being is predicated with the wrong attitude and values set, you will fail in life.

12. That is what ails present day umno. The fact that they group under one organisation i.e. umno, shows they are indeed clever.

13. The absence of the right attitude and values set make them continue to adulate untrustworthy leaders, crooks and political charlatans.

14. Bring people like Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah to preeminence to save umno and the country.

15. The substance of the man is captured by the following video clip.
