The youngest son of

to bring Malaysians
together just as his
father did after the
1969 race riots
Banker Datuk Seri Nazir
Razak said this when asked
by The Malaysian Insider
(TMI) what message his
father would convey if he
could speak to Malaysians
today
ldquoI think he would say that it
is time to set up another
national consultative
council like he did in 1970
to discuss critical issues
around preserving harmony
and fostering unity
amongst Malaysiansrdquo says
Nazir ldquoI think he would beshocked that it is 2015 and
race and religion divide
Malaysians even more
today than during his time

Nazir
was
replying to questions posed
to him and his other
brothers Johari Nizam
and Nazim about their
father as part of a series of
articles The Malaysian
Insider will be publishing
over the next few days to
mark the death of Razak who died of leukaemia in
London in 1976 to the
shock of the nation at the
age of 54
Razak and his wife Tun
Rahah had five sons and the
eldest is of course PrimeMinister Datuk Seri Najib
Razak
Taking over as prime
minister in 1971 Razak
formed Barisan Nasional to
include erstwhile
opposition parties like PAS

the Gerakan and SUPP as
part of his national
reconciliation efforts
Abroad his biggest
achievement was
establishing diplomatic
relations with Communist
China in 1974 ndash the first
member of Asean to do so
Beijing had till then
supported communist
insurgencies in many southeast Asian countries
Historians say that it was
unfortunate that Razak died
too soon as he was only into
the fifth year of
implementing key policies
introduced post 1969 likethe New Economic Policy
(NEP) and the National
Education Policy that led to
the conversion of the
medium of instruction in
national schools from
English to Bahasa Malaysia
Despite the fact that radical
policies were introduced to
stabilise the country post
1969 and were opposed by
some as being pro-Malays
those who knew him well
and even his political
opponents say that Razak
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 535
was a strong advocate of
moderation and multi-
racialism
ldquoAs the most outstanding
leader among our founding
fathers it was Tun Razak
who wished our country to
be the multi-religious
multi-racial one that would
be to the well being of all
Malaysiansrdquo says Tun
Musa Hitam who back inthe early 1970s was deemed
as a young turk of Umno
and a prodigy of Razak
DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang
says that together with
Tunku Abdul Rahman and
Tun Hussein Onn Razakmade sure that Malaysia
stayed as a strong secular
and multiracial society in
the first 25 years after
independence
ldquoDuring their premierships
from 1957 to 1981 the basisof Malaysia as a multi-
racial democratic secular
state where Islam is the
federal religion was not in
questionrdquo he told TMI
Tan Sri Ramon
Navaratnam then a youngcivil servant says Razak

Tun Abdul Razak seen here with a young Nazir

was an inspiration to civil
servants as he led by
example ldquoAs a prime
minister he touched all our
lives by his wonderfulexample And at that time
we took it for granted
because such was the ethics
of civil service then he
says
Another trait of Razak that
was legendary was hisfrugality and his careful use
of public money and this
was something he had
always impressed on his
children
ldquoHe made sure of the
distinction between privatefunds and public fundsrdquo
says Nizam ldquoSpending on
family was always private
(money)rdquo

Below is the full QampA with
Johari Nizam Nazim and
Nazir Over the next few
days TMI will be carrying
the interviews with Musa
Lim Ramon Kassim
Ahmad Tan Sri Abdullah
(Kok Lanas) Ahmad and
Tan Sri Michael Chen on
their thoughts on Razak
and his legacy
TMI January 14 2015
would be the 39th

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 835
anniversary of the passing
of your father Tun Abdul
Razak How would the
family be marking the
occasion
Nizam As with every year
for the last 38 years we are
holding tahlil prayers to
mark the occasion This is
one day of the year that the
family locks in the calendar
We invite family friendsrelatives and the friends
who were his
contemporaries
Nazir This year it will be
held at the Ar Rahah
Mosque in Bangsar South
TMI 39 years is a long
time ago but what do you
remember of that day in
January 14 1976 and the
days leading to his passing
We understand the children
were not aware of how ill he
was Where were you thenand when were you told
that the illness was
terminal
Johari I was with my
father in London during his
last days there I was
studying law at LincolnsInn and it was during the
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 935
Christmas holidays that he
came to London I was told
that it was only for a check-
up and I was not aware that
it was for anything moreserious I remember that
after he arrived we went
straight from the airport to
the hospital and remember
thinking that it was strange
that we went straight to the
London clinic If it was only
a check-up there seem to
be no reason why we had to
rush there without checking
into the hotel
I was only told by the
doctor a week before he
died that he had been
suffering from leukaemia
and that he was diagnosed
around September 1969 In
fact the doctors had at that
time told him that he had at
the most two more years
left You can imagine the
shock I felt when I was told by the doctor It was almost
unbelievable since as far as
I knew he was never sick
and to suddenly be told not
only that he had leukaemia
but also that he did not
have much longer to live
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1035
In my naivety I asked the
doctor how many more
years did he have left The
doctor replied without
mincing any words that it was not a matter of years or
months or even weeks It
was only a matter of days
He never told the family
The doctor told us not to
discuss with him as he
might be upset that we had been told This might also
indicate to him that he
might not have longer to
live and might adversely
affect him Till today I am
not sure why he did not
want the family to know but
my guess is he did not want
us to worry He also did not
want any political
instability which would
probably arise if other
people knew of his
leukaemia and that he
might not live much longer
He kept working right up to
the end and did not stop to
take time off as many
people would have if they
were suffering from a
terminal disease

Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

to bring Malaysians
together just as his
father did after the
1969 race riots
Banker Datuk Seri Nazir
Razak said this when asked
by The Malaysian Insider
(TMI) what message his
father would convey if he
could speak to Malaysians
today
ldquoI think he would say that it
is time to set up another
national consultative
council like he did in 1970
to discuss critical issues
around preserving harmony
and fostering unity
amongst Malaysiansrdquo says
Nazir ldquoI think he would beshocked that it is 2015 and
race and religion divide
Malaysians even more
today than during his time

Nazir
was
replying to questions posed
to him and his other
brothers Johari Nizam
and Nazim about their
father as part of a series of
articles The Malaysian
Insider will be publishing
over the next few days to
mark the death of Razak who died of leukaemia in
London in 1976 to the
shock of the nation at the
age of 54
Razak and his wife Tun
Rahah had five sons and the
eldest is of course PrimeMinister Datuk Seri Najib
Razak
Taking over as prime
minister in 1971 Razak
formed Barisan Nasional to
include erstwhile
opposition parties like PAS

the Gerakan and SUPP as
part of his national
reconciliation efforts
Abroad his biggest
achievement was
establishing diplomatic
relations with Communist
China in 1974 ndash the first
member of Asean to do so
Beijing had till then
supported communist
insurgencies in many southeast Asian countries
Historians say that it was
unfortunate that Razak died
too soon as he was only into
the fifth year of
implementing key policies
introduced post 1969 likethe New Economic Policy
(NEP) and the National
Education Policy that led to
the conversion of the
medium of instruction in
national schools from
English to Bahasa Malaysia
Despite the fact that radical
policies were introduced to
stabilise the country post
1969 and were opposed by
some as being pro-Malays
those who knew him well
and even his political
opponents say that Razak

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 535
was a strong advocate of
moderation and multi-
racialism
ldquoAs the most outstanding
leader among our founding
fathers it was Tun Razak
who wished our country to
be the multi-religious
multi-racial one that would
be to the well being of all
Malaysiansrdquo says Tun
Musa Hitam who back inthe early 1970s was deemed
as a young turk of Umno
and a prodigy of Razak
DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang
says that together with
Tunku Abdul Rahman and
Tun Hussein Onn Razakmade sure that Malaysia
stayed as a strong secular
and multiracial society in
the first 25 years after
independence
ldquoDuring their premierships
from 1957 to 1981 the basisof Malaysia as a multi-
racial democratic secular
state where Islam is the
federal religion was not in
questionrdquo he told TMI

Navaratnam then a youngcivil servant says Razak

of civil service then he
says
Another trait of Razak that
was legendary was hisfrugality and his careful use
of public money and this
was something he had
always impressed on his
children
ldquoHe made sure of the
distinction between privatefunds and public fundsrdquo
says Nizam ldquoSpending on
family was always private

anniversary of the passing
of your father Tun Abdul
Razak How would the
family be marking the
occasion
Nizam As with every year
for the last 38 years we are
holding tahlil prayers to
mark the occasion This is
one day of the year that the
family locks in the calendar
We invite family friendsrelatives and the friends
who were his
contemporaries
Nazir This year it will be
held at the Ar Rahah
Mosque in Bangsar South
TMI 39 years is a long
time ago but what do you
remember of that day in
January 14 1976 and the
days leading to his passing
We understand the children
were not aware of how ill he
was Where were you thenand when were you told
that the illness was
terminal
Johari I was with my
father in London during his
last days there I was
studying law at LincolnsInn and it was during the
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 935
Christmas holidays that he
came to London I was told
that it was only for a check-
up and I was not aware that
it was for anything moreserious I remember that
after he arrived we went
straight from the airport to
the hospital and remember
thinking that it was strange
that we went straight to the
London clinic If it was only
a check-up there seem to
be no reason why we had to
rush there without checking
into the hotel
I was only told by the
doctor a week before he
died that he had been
suffering from leukaemia
and that he was diagnosed
around September 1969 In
fact the doctors had at that
time told him that he had at
the most two more years
left You can imagine the
shock I felt when I was told by the doctor It was almost
unbelievable since as far as
I knew he was never sick
and to suddenly be told not
only that he had leukaemia
but also that he did not
have much longer to live
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1035
In my naivety I asked the
doctor how many more
years did he have left The
doctor replied without
mincing any words that it was not a matter of years or
months or even weeks It
was only a matter of days
He never told the family
The doctor told us not to
discuss with him as he
might be upset that we had been told This might also
indicate to him that he
might not have longer to
live and might adversely
affect him Till today I am
not sure why he did not
want the family to know but
my guess is he did not want
us to worry He also did not
want any political
instability which would
probably arise if other
people knew of his
leukaemia and that he
might not live much longer
He kept working right up to
the end and did not stop to
take time off as many
people would have if they
were suffering from a
terminal disease

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1135
Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His

death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

Nazir
was
replying to questions posed
to him and his other
brothers Johari Nizam
and Nazim about their
father as part of a series of
articles The Malaysian
Insider will be publishing
over the next few days to
mark the death of Razak who died of leukaemia in
London in 1976 to the
shock of the nation at the
age of 54
Razak and his wife Tun
Rahah had five sons and the
eldest is of course PrimeMinister Datuk Seri Najib
Razak
Taking over as prime
minister in 1971 Razak
formed Barisan Nasional to
include erstwhile
opposition parties like PAS

the Gerakan and SUPP as
part of his national
reconciliation efforts
Abroad his biggest
achievement was
establishing diplomatic
relations with Communist
China in 1974 ndash the first
member of Asean to do so
Beijing had till then
supported communist
insurgencies in many southeast Asian countries
Historians say that it was
unfortunate that Razak died
too soon as he was only into
the fifth year of
implementing key policies
introduced post 1969 likethe New Economic Policy
(NEP) and the National
Education Policy that led to
the conversion of the
medium of instruction in
national schools from
English to Bahasa Malaysia
Despite the fact that radical
policies were introduced to
stabilise the country post
1969 and were opposed by
some as being pro-Malays
those who knew him well
and even his political
opponents say that Razak

was a strong advocate of
moderation and multi-
racialism
ldquoAs the most outstanding
leader among our founding
fathers it was Tun Razak
who wished our country to
be the multi-religious
multi-racial one that would
be to the well being of all
Malaysiansrdquo says Tun
Musa Hitam who back inthe early 1970s was deemed
as a young turk of Umno
and a prodigy of Razak
DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang
says that together with
Tunku Abdul Rahman and
Tun Hussein Onn Razakmade sure that Malaysia
stayed as a strong secular
and multiracial society in
the first 25 years after
independence
ldquoDuring their premierships
from 1957 to 1981 the basisof Malaysia as a multi-
racial democratic secular
state where Islam is the
federal religion was not in
questionrdquo he told TMI
Tan Sri Ramon
Navaratnam then a youngcivil servant says Razak

was an inspiration to civil
servants as he led by
example ldquoAs a prime
minister he touched all our
lives by his wonderfulexample And at that time
we took it for granted
because such was the ethics
of civil service then he
says
Another trait of Razak that
was legendary was hisfrugality and his careful use
of public money and this
was something he had
always impressed on his
children
ldquoHe made sure of the
distinction between privatefunds and public fundsrdquo
says Nizam ldquoSpending on
family was always private
(money)rdquo

Nizam As with every year
for the last 38 years we are

mark the occasion This is
one day of the year that the
family locks in the calendar
We invite family friendsrelatives and the friends
who were his

remember of that day in
January 14 1976 and the
days leading to his passing

were not aware of how ill he
was Where were you thenand when were you told
that the illness was
terminal
Johari I was with my
father in London during his
last days there I was
studying law at LincolnsInn and it was during the
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 935
Christmas holidays that he
came to London I was told
that it was only for a check-
up and I was not aware that
it was for anything moreserious I remember that
after he arrived we went
straight from the airport to
the hospital and remember
thinking that it was strange
that we went straight to the
London clinic If it was only
a check-up there seem to
be no reason why we had to
rush there without checking
into the hotel
I was only told by the
doctor a week before he
died that he had been
suffering from leukaemia
and that he was diagnosed
around September 1969 In
fact the doctors had at that
time told him that he had at
the most two more years
left You can imagine the
shock I felt when I was told by the doctor It was almost
unbelievable since as far as
I knew he was never sick
and to suddenly be told not
only that he had leukaemia
but also that he did not
have much longer to live
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1035
In my naivety I asked the
doctor how many more
years did he have left The
doctor replied without
mincing any words that it was not a matter of years or
months or even weeks It
was only a matter of days
He never told the family
The doctor told us not to
discuss with him as he
might be upset that we had been told This might also
indicate to him that he
might not have longer to
live and might adversely
affect him Till today I am
not sure why he did not
want the family to know but
my guess is he did not want
us to worry He also did not
want any political
instability which would
probably arise if other
people knew of his
leukaemia and that he
might not live much longer
He kept working right up to
the end and did not stop to
take time off as many
people would have if they
were suffering from a
terminal disease

Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question

Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

the Gerakan and SUPP as
part of his national
reconciliation efforts
Abroad his biggest
achievement was
establishing diplomatic
relations with Communist
China in 1974 ndash the first
member of Asean to do so
Beijing had till then
supported communist
insurgencies in many southeast Asian countries
Historians say that it was
unfortunate that Razak died
too soon as he was only into
the fifth year of
implementing key policies
introduced post 1969 likethe New Economic Policy
(NEP) and the National
Education Policy that led to
the conversion of the
medium of instruction in
national schools from
English to Bahasa Malaysia
Despite the fact that radical
policies were introduced to
stabilise the country post
1969 and were opposed by
some as being pro-Malays
those who knew him well
and even his political
opponents say that Razak

was a strong advocate of
moderation and multi-
racialism
ldquoAs the most outstanding
leader among our founding
fathers it was Tun Razak
who wished our country to
be the multi-religious
multi-racial one that would
be to the well being of all
Malaysiansrdquo says Tun
Musa Hitam who back inthe early 1970s was deemed
as a young turk of Umno
and a prodigy of Razak
DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang
says that together with
Tunku Abdul Rahman and
Tun Hussein Onn Razakmade sure that Malaysia
stayed as a strong secular
and multiracial society in
the first 25 years after
independence
ldquoDuring their premierships
from 1957 to 1981 the basisof Malaysia as a multi-
racial democratic secular
state where Islam is the
federal religion was not in
questionrdquo he told TMI

because such was the ethics
of civil service then he
says
Another trait of Razak that
was legendary was hisfrugality and his careful use
of public money and this
was something he had
always impressed on his
children
ldquoHe made sure of the
distinction between privatefunds and public fundsrdquo
says Nizam ldquoSpending on
family was always private

held at the Ar Rahah
Mosque in Bangsar South
TMI 39 years is a long
time ago but what do you
remember of that day in
January 14 1976 and the
days leading to his passing
We understand the children
were not aware of how ill he
was Where were you thenand when were you told
that the illness was
terminal
Johari I was with my
father in London during his
last days there I was
studying law at LincolnsInn and it was during the

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 935
Christmas holidays that he
came to London I was told
that it was only for a check-
up and I was not aware that
it was for anything moreserious I remember that
after he arrived we went
straight from the airport to
the hospital and remember
thinking that it was strange
that we went straight to the
London clinic If it was only
a check-up there seem to
be no reason why we had to
rush there without checking
into the hotel
I was only told by the
doctor a week before he
died that he had been
suffering from leukaemia
and that he was diagnosed
around September 1969 In
fact the doctors had at that
time told him that he had at
the most two more years
left You can imagine the
shock I felt when I was told by the doctor It was almost
unbelievable since as far as
I knew he was never sick
and to suddenly be told not
only that he had leukaemia
but also that he did not
have much longer to live

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1035
In my naivety I asked the
doctor how many more
years did he have left The
doctor replied without
mincing any words that it was not a matter of years or
months or even weeks It
was only a matter of days
He never told the family
The doctor told us not to
discuss with him as he
might be upset that we had been told This might also
indicate to him that he
might not have longer to
live and might adversely
affect him Till today I am
not sure why he did not
want the family to know but
my guess is he did not want
us to worry He also did not
want any political
instability which would
probably arise if other
people knew of his
leukaemia and that he
might not live much longer
He kept working right up to
the end and did not stop to
take time off as many
people would have if they
were suffering from a
terminal disease

Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

was a strong advocate of
moderation and multi-
racialism
ldquoAs the most outstanding
leader among our founding
fathers it was Tun Razak
who wished our country to
be the multi-religious
multi-racial one that would
be to the well being of all
Malaysiansrdquo says Tun
Musa Hitam who back inthe early 1970s was deemed
as a young turk of Umno
and a prodigy of Razak
DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang
says that together with
Tunku Abdul Rahman and
Tun Hussein Onn Razakmade sure that Malaysia
stayed as a strong secular
and multiracial society in
the first 25 years after
independence
ldquoDuring their premierships
from 1957 to 1981 the basisof Malaysia as a multi-
racial democratic secular
state where Islam is the
federal religion was not in
questionrdquo he told TMI

example ldquoAs a prime

we took it for granted
because such was the ethics
of civil service then he
says
Another trait of Razak that
was legendary was hisfrugality and his careful use
of public money and this
was something he had
always impressed on his
children
ldquoHe made sure of the
distinction between privatefunds and public fundsrdquo
says Nizam ldquoSpending on
family was always private

anniversary of the passing
of your father Tun Abdul
Razak How would the
family be marking the
occasion
Nizam As with every year
for the last 38 years we are
holding tahlil prayers to
mark the occasion This is
one day of the year that the
family locks in the calendar
We invite family friendsrelatives and the friends
who were his
contemporaries
Nazir This year it will be
held at the Ar Rahah
Mosque in Bangsar South
TMI 39 years is a long
time ago but what do you
remember of that day in
January 14 1976 and the
days leading to his passing
We understand the children
were not aware of how ill he
was Where were you thenand when were you told
that the illness was
terminal
Johari I was with my
father in London during his
last days there I was
studying law at LincolnsInn and it was during the
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 935
Christmas holidays that he
came to London I was told
that it was only for a check-
up and I was not aware that
it was for anything moreserious I remember that
after he arrived we went
straight from the airport to
the hospital and remember
thinking that it was strange
that we went straight to the
London clinic If it was only
a check-up there seem to
be no reason why we had to
rush there without checking
into the hotel
I was only told by the
doctor a week before he
died that he had been
suffering from leukaemia
and that he was diagnosed
around September 1969 In
fact the doctors had at that
time told him that he had at
the most two more years
left You can imagine the
shock I felt when I was told by the doctor It was almost
unbelievable since as far as
I knew he was never sick
and to suddenly be told not
only that he had leukaemia
but also that he did not
have much longer to live
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1035
In my naivety I asked the
doctor how many more
years did he have left The
doctor replied without
mincing any words that it was not a matter of years or
months or even weeks It
was only a matter of days
He never told the family
The doctor told us not to
discuss with him as he
might be upset that we had been told This might also
indicate to him that he
might not have longer to
live and might adversely
affect him Till today I am
not sure why he did not
want the family to know but
my guess is he did not want
us to worry He also did not
want any political
instability which would
probably arise if other
people knew of his
leukaemia and that he
might not live much longer
He kept working right up to
the end and did not stop to
take time off as many
people would have if they
were suffering from a
terminal disease

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1135
Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

One garners the impression from the late PMs sons that they confuse history with contemporary reality whenthey believe rehashing their fathers solutions to be a prudent step to solve the current political climate Theunbelievable incompetency of BNist-UMNOist rule have left them bankrupt of any meaningful leadership role ina national consultative council in fact the political treachery that followed that period have ingrained bitterlessons to the non-BN coalition partners of letting BNist-UMNOist free policy reign in this Age of Corrupt
Imbecility They think there is still credibility in UMNO but the credits have been frittered away far too much forthat globe-trotting jet have flown off

anniversary of the passing
of your father Tun Abdul
Razak How would the
family be marking the
occasion
Nizam As with every year
for the last 38 years we are
holding tahlil prayers to
mark the occasion This is
one day of the year that the
family locks in the calendar
We invite family friendsrelatives and the friends
who were his
contemporaries
Nazir This year it will be
held at the Ar Rahah
Mosque in Bangsar South
TMI 39 years is a long
time ago but what do you
remember of that day in
January 14 1976 and the
days leading to his passing
We understand the children
were not aware of how ill he
was Where were you thenand when were you told
that the illness was
terminal
Johari I was with my
father in London during his
last days there I was
studying law at LincolnsInn and it was during the
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 935
Christmas holidays that he
came to London I was told
that it was only for a check-
up and I was not aware that
it was for anything moreserious I remember that
after he arrived we went
straight from the airport to
the hospital and remember
thinking that it was strange
that we went straight to the
London clinic If it was only
a check-up there seem to
be no reason why we had to
rush there without checking
into the hotel
I was only told by the
doctor a week before he
died that he had been
suffering from leukaemia
and that he was diagnosed
around September 1969 In
fact the doctors had at that
time told him that he had at
the most two more years
left You can imagine the
shock I felt when I was told by the doctor It was almost
unbelievable since as far as
I knew he was never sick
and to suddenly be told not
only that he had leukaemia
but also that he did not
have much longer to live
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1035
In my naivety I asked the
doctor how many more
years did he have left The
doctor replied without
mincing any words that it was not a matter of years or
months or even weeks It
was only a matter of days
He never told the family
The doctor told us not to
discuss with him as he
might be upset that we had been told This might also
indicate to him that he
might not have longer to
live and might adversely
affect him Till today I am
not sure why he did not
want the family to know but
my guess is he did not want
us to worry He also did not
want any political
instability which would
probably arise if other
people knew of his
leukaemia and that he
might not live much longer
He kept working right up to
the end and did not stop to
take time off as many
people would have if they
were suffering from a
terminal disease

Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

Johari Nizam Nazim and
Nazir Over the next few
days TMI will be carrying
the interviews with Musa
Lim Ramon Kassim
Ahmad Tan Sri Abdullah
(Kok Lanas) Ahmad and

their thoughts on Razak
and his legacy

anniversary of the passing
of your father Tun Abdul
Razak How would the
family be marking the
occasion
Nizam As with every year
for the last 38 years we are
holding tahlil prayers to
mark the occasion This is
one day of the year that the
family locks in the calendar
We invite family friendsrelatives and the friends
who were his
contemporaries
Nazir This year it will be
held at the Ar Rahah
Mosque in Bangsar South
TMI 39 years is a long
time ago but what do you
remember of that day in
January 14 1976 and the
days leading to his passing
We understand the children
were not aware of how ill he
was Where were you thenand when were you told
that the illness was
terminal
Johari I was with my
father in London during his
last days there I was
studying law at LincolnsInn and it was during the
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 935
Christmas holidays that he
came to London I was told
that it was only for a check-
up and I was not aware that
it was for anything moreserious I remember that
after he arrived we went
straight from the airport to
the hospital and remember
thinking that it was strange
that we went straight to the
London clinic If it was only
a check-up there seem to
be no reason why we had to
rush there without checking
into the hotel
I was only told by the
doctor a week before he
died that he had been
suffering from leukaemia
and that he was diagnosed
around September 1969 In
fact the doctors had at that
time told him that he had at
the most two more years
left You can imagine the
shock I felt when I was told by the doctor It was almost
unbelievable since as far as
I knew he was never sick
and to suddenly be told not
only that he had leukaemia
but also that he did not
have much longer to live
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1035
In my naivety I asked the
doctor how many more
years did he have left The
doctor replied without
mincing any words that it was not a matter of years or
months or even weeks It
was only a matter of days
He never told the family
The doctor told us not to
discuss with him as he
might be upset that we had been told This might also
indicate to him that he
might not have longer to
live and might adversely
affect him Till today I am
not sure why he did not
want the family to know but
my guess is he did not want
us to worry He also did not
want any political
instability which would
probably arise if other
people knew of his
leukaemia and that he
might not live much longer
He kept working right up to
the end and did not stop to
take time off as many
people would have if they
were suffering from a
terminal disease
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1135
Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

One garners the impression from the late PMs sons that they confuse history with contemporary reality whenthey believe rehashing their fathers solutions to be a prudent step to solve the current political climate Theunbelievable incompetency of BNist-UMNOist rule have left them bankrupt of any meaningful leadership role ina national consultative council in fact the political treachery that followed that period have ingrained bitterlessons to the non-BN coalition partners of letting BNist-UMNOist free policy reign in this Age of Corrupt

anniversary of the passing
of your father Tun Abdul
Razak How would the
family be marking the
occasion
Nizam As with every year
for the last 38 years we are
holding tahlil prayers to
mark the occasion This is
one day of the year that the
family locks in the calendar
We invite family friendsrelatives and the friends
who were his
contemporaries
Nazir This year it will be
held at the Ar Rahah
Mosque in Bangsar South
TMI 39 years is a long
time ago but what do you
remember of that day in
January 14 1976 and the
days leading to his passing
We understand the children
were not aware of how ill he
was Where were you thenand when were you told
that the illness was
terminal
Johari I was with my
father in London during his
last days there I was
studying law at LincolnsInn and it was during the
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 935
Christmas holidays that he
came to London I was told
that it was only for a check-
up and I was not aware that
it was for anything moreserious I remember that
after he arrived we went
straight from the airport to
the hospital and remember
thinking that it was strange
that we went straight to the
London clinic If it was only
a check-up there seem to
be no reason why we had to
rush there without checking
into the hotel
I was only told by the
doctor a week before he
died that he had been
suffering from leukaemia
and that he was diagnosed
around September 1969 In
fact the doctors had at that
time told him that he had at
the most two more years
left You can imagine the
shock I felt when I was told by the doctor It was almost
unbelievable since as far as
I knew he was never sick
and to suddenly be told not
only that he had leukaemia
but also that he did not
have much longer to live
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1035
In my naivety I asked the
doctor how many more
years did he have left The
doctor replied without
mincing any words that it was not a matter of years or
months or even weeks It
was only a matter of days
He never told the family
The doctor told us not to
discuss with him as he
might be upset that we had been told This might also
indicate to him that he
might not have longer to
live and might adversely
affect him Till today I am
not sure why he did not
want the family to know but
my guess is he did not want
us to worry He also did not
want any political
instability which would
probably arise if other
people knew of his
leukaemia and that he
might not live much longer
He kept working right up to
the end and did not stop to
take time off as many
people would have if they
were suffering from a
terminal disease

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1135
Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first

Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy

I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

Christmas holidays that he
came to London I was told
that it was only for a check-
up and I was not aware that
it was for anything moreserious I remember that
after he arrived we went
straight from the airport to
the hospital and remember
thinking that it was strange
that we went straight to the
London clinic If it was only
a check-up there seem to
be no reason why we had to
rush there without checking
into the hotel
I was only told by the
doctor a week before he
died that he had been
suffering from leukaemia
and that he was diagnosed
around September 1969 In
fact the doctors had at that
time told him that he had at
the most two more years
left You can imagine the
shock I felt when I was told by the doctor It was almost
unbelievable since as far as
I knew he was never sick
and to suddenly be told not
only that he had leukaemia
but also that he did not
have much longer to live
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1035
In my naivety I asked the
doctor how many more
years did he have left The
doctor replied without
mincing any words that it was not a matter of years or
months or even weeks It
was only a matter of days
He never told the family
The doctor told us not to
discuss with him as he
might be upset that we had been told This might also
indicate to him that he
might not have longer to
live and might adversely
affect him Till today I am
not sure why he did not
want the family to know but
my guess is he did not want
us to worry He also did not
want any political
instability which would
probably arise if other
people knew of his
leukaemia and that he
might not live much longer
He kept working right up to
the end and did not stop to
take time off as many
people would have if they
were suffering from a
terminal disease

Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life

minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

In my naivety I asked the
doctor how many more
years did he have left The
doctor replied without
mincing any words that it was not a matter of years or
months or even weeks It
was only a matter of days
He never told the family
The doctor told us not to
discuss with him as he
might be upset that we had been told This might also
indicate to him that he
might not have longer to
live and might adversely
affect him Till today I am
not sure why he did not
want the family to know but
my guess is he did not want
us to worry He also did not
want any political
instability which would
probably arise if other
people knew of his
leukaemia and that he
might not live much longer
He kept working right up to
the end and did not stop to
take time off as many
people would have if they
were suffering from a
terminal disease

Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to

travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

Nizam I was 17 at the
time studying in England
We were excited when we
received the news of our
father coming to Londonduring our Christmas
holidays for a rest I did not
have any plans for
Christmas except to stay in
London so his visit was a
welcome treat
I was taken aback when Isaw him alight from the
plane He looked terribly
gaunt and not at all well but
as we had been told he had
been unwell and was
coming to rest I thought
this was a normal sick and
then recover situation
My father was hospitalised
for some days After he was
discharged I thought
everything was going to be
normal My mothers
sudden appearance was not
a surprise and did not set
off any alarm bells We had
some memorable days in
London with many walks in
the parks and nostalgic
visits to his favourite
restaurants and shops

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1235
In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

In less than a week after his
discharge he had a relapse
and was readmitted to the
hospital It was then that I
was taken aside by thedoctor who informed me
that my father was seriously
ill Like any child I didnt
want to consider any
eventuality other than a
recovery However his
condition steadily worsened
and within a few days after
being told he was seriously
ill he passed away I was by
his side when he passed
away as it was my shift
early that morning
One unforgettable incident
when he was out of hospital
was his insistence on
buying me a present which
was unusual because
buying things for the
children was normally my
mothers domain My father
actually followed me to buy a present I eventually
settled for a squash racquet
Little did I know that this
was his farewell present
He had bought something
for everyone Needless to
say this racquet is treasured
and has never been used

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1335
Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to

travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

Nazim I was unaware of
the seriousness of the
illness neither was I told
that it was terminal
However when I was topostpone my return back to
school when term started I
realised that it was more
serious than I had thought
Nazir I was 9 years old I
remember being left at
home alone for a long time while he was being treated
in London but I had no
inkling of how ill he was A
few days before he died
Najib came back to KL so
even more reason not to
think of the worst
Then one day I was told to
pack my bags as he (Tun
Razak) wanted to see me
and that Najib and I would
be flying that night itself
Initially I was thrilled as I
had never been overseas
and I was going all the way
to London I became a little
worried when it dawn on
me that something must be
very wrong we were
breaking family protocol
that said we only get to
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1435
travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider

Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political

I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for

achievements I believe

most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

travel overseas after turning
10 But I still did not think
he was dying
Then some hours later
before we left for the
airport the phone rang for
Najib I was next to him
and listened as he reacted
to the news that Dad had
died I was in complete
shock
TMI What was Tun Razak
like as a father politician
and prime minister
Johari He was a loving
but stern father who
emphasised the importance
of studying and getting a
good job He told us to
always be humble and to
help other less fortunate
people He sent us to
boarding school so that we
could learn to stand on our
own two feet He always felt
that we might be spoiltstaying at home with so
many servants and other
people being nice to us
because we were the
children of the prime
minister He was always
very busy but had time to
talk to me whenever I asked
him any question

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1535
Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

Nizam Despite being very
busy as a prime minister
my father always kept a
watchful eye over me
especially on my academicperformance He never
missed a report card
Quality time with him was
limited though but we tried
to make the most of what
we had which was normally
the lunches and dinners
when he ate at home and
post-dinner family time
Holidays did not always
present good opportunities
to spend time with him
because there were always
an entourage of people who
followed him on trips and
as a young childteenager I
was always in the
background
Nazim As a father he was
caring and was always very
concerned about our well
being and most of all ourstudies He charted my
education and that became
a target for me to complete
them in the years to come
TMI What were the values
that he as a father tried to
inculcate into you as hisson
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1635
Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

Johari To work hard to
be humble and to respect
and help other people
Nizam My way of learning
his values was to observe
the things he stood for
Humility simplicity
honesty hard work and
frugality were some of the
more important values I
learnt from his conduct in
life and in politics I cannever forget how careful he
always was with
government spending on
himself and family
He made sure of the
distinction between private
funds and public fundsSpending on family was
always private
Additionally my father
never forgot that he was
there to serve the people
His ultimate purpose was to
uplift and improve the
quality of life of the people
He never forgot where he
came from and the
hardship he had gone
through
He sent me at a young age
to study in England because
he knew that was the way I
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1735
could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

could grow up without
being sheltered and having
an easy life
Nazim He always stressed
the importance and value of
education strong
discipline honesty and
hard work He always
undertook his tasks very
seriously be it studies
sports or the positions he
served in
TMI As his son how are
you trying to live up to
those values now that you
are a father with children of
your own and with
responsibilities of your own
whether in private or publicservice
Johari Of course as a
son I do try to live up to his
values and to inculcate the
same values in my children
Nazim I try to measure up
to his dedication
determination and above all
his loyalty and hard work
He was passionate about
his work and passionate
about his goals in life
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1835
TMI As the prime
minister your dad was
obviously a very busy man
but on the occasions when
there was family time didhe ever talk about his job
and what he was trying to
do and achieve for the
country
Johari We were a
relatively young family He
did not discuss his jobdirectly with us as he
wanted us to concentrate
on our studies and not be
distracted by political
issues We did listen to
many discussions that took
place in the house when
other people were present
We also talked to his
advisers and others
working with him and by
talking to them we learnt
about his job and what he
was trying to achieve for the
country
Nizam Given that I was
very young at that time (17)
it would have been
inappropriate to discuss
serious national issues with
me In any case I was away
studying in London fromthe age of 13 so there was
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 1935
not much occasion to do so
even when I was older and
able to understand national
issues better I do
remember two occasions when he talked to me on
national issues The first
was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2035
Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2135
I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his
892019 My Father Would Be Shocked Says Nazir Razak - The Malaysian Insider
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

was during the May 1969
incident He was very upset
at what had happened I
was 11 at that time and I
remember he told me that
fighting had broken out in
the streets He just couldnt
fathom how the situation
could have deteriorated to
that extent
The second again an
upsetting incident
concerned an aid that was
offered to the country It
was obvious that he did not
agree with the terms of the
aid He was furious saying
that he didnt care if we
didnt get colour TV in
Malaysia as long asMalaysians remained in
control of its own destiny
TMI Your father took over
as prime minister in the
aftermath of the 1969 race
riots and one of the first
things he did was to stitchtogether a new coalition in

Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy

I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics

your father would be

39 years after his death
What do you think will be

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

Barisan Nasional by
bringing in parties that
were in opposition to the
Alliance eg Parti Gerakan
the Peoplersquos ProgressiveParty PAS SUPP just to
name a few The coalition
that he founded is today
under a lot of stress and
facing a lot of challenges
Do you have any thoughts
about this
Nazim The coalition was
the best solution in the
aftermath of the riots It is
now 39 years and society
has changed (and) the
world has changed
Nazir It was a very different time and set of
challenges He was a
democrat When he had
dictatorial powers in the
aftermath of May 13th he
chose to return power to
Parliament as soon as
possible even though many
people around him tried to
convince him to maintain
NOC rule He formed a
bigger coalition of parties
with BN as a legitimate way
of lessening political
tensions while preservingparliamentary democracy

I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him
Nizam Of his many
achievements I believe
rural development is his

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmy-father-would-be-shocked-says-nazir-razak-the-malaysian-insider 2235
most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

I think he would have
realised that the BN
formula would change and
evolve over time I believe
that he had hoped that in20 years (by 1990) the NEP
experiment would have
succeeded in eradicating
poverty and closing the
wealth disparity between
races and create the
foundations for more
conventional democratic
politics
TMI How do you think
your father would be
remembered by Malaysians
39 years after his death
What do you think will be
his enduring legacy
Johari As an honest man
who worked tirelessly and
selflessly for the country
He abhorred corruption
and self-aggrandisement
His thoughts were always
for the people Their
welfare was his priority His
focus was on the
development of the country
Politics took a backseat for
him

achievements I believe
rural development is his

most enduring Hence of all
the titles accorded to
former leaders his was
Bapa Pembangunan
Although prime ministerssince then have not placed
as much emphasis on rural
development as he had
done the strategies and
institutions he put in place
have continued and
endured long after his
death The restoration of
democracy and uniting the
country after 1969 and the
formation of Barisan
Nasional were his two other
major achievements
Nazir Tun Razak should
be remembered for
dedicating his life to the
nation When he knew he
was dying he pushed
himself harder at work He
was not interested in
personal material gain and
was in fact even more frugal when it came to
government finances So
even those who disagree
with his politics or policies
tend to respect the person
He has been aptly dubbed
the Father of DevelopmentHe was deputy PM from

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

After masterminding the race riots with that hard-core megalomaniac Harun and forcingthe helpless Tunku to give up his PM post Razak did not earn the love and the admiration like the Tunku butinsteadforging a path to destruction by recalling Mahathir back What we see today are the results of his short-sightedview of race relationship wrong judgement and erratic unproven economic stewardship

One garners the impression from the late PMs sons that they confuse history with contemporary reality whenthey believe rehashing their fathers solutions to be a prudent step to solve the current political climate Theunbelievable incompetency of BNist-UMNOist rule have left them bankrupt of any meaningful leadership role ina national consultative council in fact the political treachery that followed that period have ingrained bitterlessons to the non-BN coalition partners of letting BNist-UMNOist free policy reign in this Age of Corrupt

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

Wonder if Nazirs late father Tun Razak would be shocked to know that at present day PDRM sends 20 policepersonnel to pick up one miserable lawyer but the Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of Finance must
seriously look into this as its a WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS to send a big force to do a small job One phone callwould have been suffice to get the lawyer going to the police Wonder what went in the heads of the planners orwas it designed to give an impact to the legal fraternity

Imbecility They think there is still credibility in UMNO but the credits have been frittered away far too much forthat globe-trotting jet have flown off
