INTRODUCTION

Figure 1: Tun Abdul Razak

Malaysia is currently advancing along its path to success by achieving and demonstrating
a good and consistent record of economic development. It aims to become a developed country by
the first quarter of the twenty-first century. Despite some self-inflicted injury, it has become a
nation that stands tall in international forums to demonstrate its unwavering principles in the highly
Western-biased international political games. If there is one man who can be credited with
initiating and laying the groundwork for this path to success, it is Tun Abdul Razak.

Tun Abdul Razak (1922-1976) was Malaysia's second Prime Minister and was popularly
known as "The Father of Development," "Father of Peace," and "Architect of Malaysia's
Development." There is a need for local and international analysts in search of a better
understanding of Malaysia's politics and development to assess and revive Tun Abdul Razak's
contribution to the history of Malaysia's development. Tun Abdul Razak's accomplishments as a
dedicated and loyal servant of his country are numerous. In 1955, when he retired from the Malay
civil service as loyal deputy of Tunku Abdul Rahman to politics, he bore an unduly hefty charge
for ministerial responsibilities. In this function, he laid the foundations of education policies and
the administration of development, as well as guiding Malaysia's progress in defence.

However, his greatest achievement was undoubtedly to strengthen the fragile multi-racial
foundation of the state after it was subjected to violent upheaval and then to underline it with a
wider inter-communal coalition which he created himself as Prime Minister.

CHAPTER 1: EARLY LIFE AND FAMILY

a) Early Life
Tun Abdul Razak was born at Pulau Keladi, Pekan, Pahang on March 11, 1922. Abdul Razak is
an Arabic name that means as "Servant of Allah." Tun Abdul Razak's father is known as Orang

Sulawesi, Indonesia, who traveled to Malaya to trade before settling in Pahang. Hajah Teh Binti
Daud, Tun Abdul Razak's mother, was an ordinary lady. Tun Abdul Razak was born into an
aristocratic family and raised in luxury environments. As a result, the residents of Pekan, Pahang,

Despite being born into an aristocratic family, Tun Abdul Razak lived a life like any other. Tun
Abdul Razak was raised humbly since his father did not wish him to live in luxury. Tun Abdul
Razak spent his childhood at Pulau Keladi, Pekan, Pahang, in his grandfather's house. When Tun
Abdul Razak's father was promoted and transferred to Temerloh, Pahang, Tun Abdul Razak was
assigned to live in a disciplined village atmosphere with his paternal grandparents at Kampung
Jambu, Langgar, Pekan.
His childhood day. in the kampong spent soiling his hands with earth and mud developed his love
for the agro-economic sector, the sector that he identified to be the pre-requisite for further
development towards industrialisation. It was no surprise therefore that he would spend many days
and hours deep inside the rural areas seeing for himself the stages of development of the scheme
that he had initiated. A true “leader by example", he strongly believed that mere words were not
sufficient to initiated progress, he had to be in the fields occasionally to inspect with his own eyes
the developmental Stages of the implementation of his policies. This way too he felt close at heart
with the rural folk whose living standard he was trying to elevate. This rural upbringing including
the traditional religious teachings that Tun Abdul Razak went through in his early life also
explained the build- up of the great leader, sincere and honest in his deeds.

CHAPTER 2: EARLY EDUCATION

Tun Abdul Razak's educational journey began with attending school in the village at the age of
six. Tun Abdul Razak received his early education at Sekolah Melayu Kampung Jambu Langgar.
He had to commute four miles on foot and barefoot from home to school. Sekolah Jambu Langgar
School has wooden walls, nipah roof and earthen floor. On rainy days the students could not study
because of leaking roofs and rickshaw floors. However, Tun Abdul Razak can adapt to any
situation. From primary school, Tun Abdul Razak has shown excellent ability in the field of
education. Every year he was able to collect awards in class. Most of his classmates and teachers
described him as being an ordinary school boy, in the sense that he did not behave or expect to be
treated differently.

At the end of 1933, Tun Abdul Razak was selected by resident of Pahang to attend Maktab Melayu
at Kuala Kangsar. Tun Abdul Razak was transferred to Maktab Melayu Kuala Kangsar, a school
for aristocrats and the wealthy at the time. Tun Abdul Razak was sworn in as a Malay
Administrative Service officer on trial in 1939. Tun Abdul Razak graduated from Maktab Kuala
Kangsar on May 31, 1940. Tun Abdul Razak has been awarded a scholarship that will allow him
to study for three years in economics, law and history at Raffles College.

The British took over control of Malaya after the Japanese surrender in 1945. Although Tun Abdul
Razak remained a member of the Wataniah Movement until it was disbanded on 01 December
1945. Tun Abdul Razak was transferred into the civil service with the rank of Malay Officer on
probation for the Japanese occupation on 01 April 1943, the date he would have graduated from
Raffles College after the three-year course. Tun Abdul Razak automatically have been promoted
from Student-Probationer, had been interrupted by the invasion.

In the meantime, Tun Abdul Razak had applied to the government of the Malayan Union for a
scholarship to study law at the University of London. On 13 July 1946, the application was
approved by the Director of Education and two days later was confirmed by the Chief Secretary.

11

Since Tun Abdul Razak did not possess the qualification in Latin necessary to enter the University,
his scholarship was postponed for a year. Despite the difficulties, Tun Abdul Razak passed the
London Matriculation Examination in Latin in May 1947. Three months later, it is still uncertain
whether or not a place could be found for him at the University in August. Tun Abdul Razak sign
an agreement to enter Lincoln’s Inn of Court to study for the bar.
Tun Abdul Razak keep a good track of record in studies, he managed to get through the main
portion of his law studies in eighteen months. In April 1949, Tun Abdul Razak passed his bar final
examination. That left him the remaining fourteen months to be called to the bar. In 1949. Tun
Abdul Razak manage to enter Cambridge University and successfully complete the second
Devonshire Course in Economics and Public Administrator.

CHAPTER 3: POLITICAL CAREER

While in London, Tun Abdul Razak did not waste the opportunity given to him. He used the time
available to delve into politics and cultivate the concept of life with broad thinking. Active in
student activities, he showed leadership with the formation of the Pahang Malay Students Union.
To bring together students in Great Britain in the organization, he has helped form a student
association open to students of all races in Malay land. This ensures cooperation and tolerance
between the races are necessary for the country's political discourse. He was also appointed as the
Secretary of the Union of Great Britain Malays led by Tunku Abdul Rahman. This is due to the
leadership he displayed. Upon returning to the country, he served the Pahang State Government as
an Assistant State Secretary, and two years later, he was appointed Pahang State Secretary. His
success in the civil service was in line with his involvement in the struggle for independence.

Four months after joining UMNO, the world was appointed UMNO Youth Chief. This was
followed by his appointment as an Unofficial Member of the Federal Legislative Council on 1
February 1951. In 1951 when Tunku Abdul Rahman became the Yang Dipertua of UMNO, the 29
-year -old was elected Deputy Yang Dipertua. From here began a historical fusion of energy and
persistence in achieving independence and building a developed nation. Tun Abdul Razak also
held the post of Acting Chief Minister of Pahang for several months in 1955. As the number two
to Tunku, he also made drafts for inclusion in the Constitution of Malaya and the accompanying
delegation to London to demand independence in 1956. After independence was achieved, in Tun,
age 35, he started his service as Deputy Prime Minister stretching over 13 years. During this period,
he has held several portfolios, including the Ministry of National and Rural Development, the
Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Home Affairs. As the first Minister of Education, he issued
the Razak Statement 1956 to unite various races. National Education Policy Statement is based on
the support of the Malay language as the national language. Using the medium of the National
Language and the same subject content in all schools, the spirit of unity and cooperation among
students from various races can be instilled. The spirit of education policy is the basis for creating
a healthy and educated young generation as a source of development energy.

13

Tun Razak's concept of democracy is based on social and economic balance where all citizens can
play a role in developing the country. According to him, the country's development is massive
because the biggest bastion of national sovereignty is located on defence and a more significant
effect. He pioneered the rural development movement, with the first step being to formulate a
development policy that covers every aspect of the country's needs. This is known as the "Red
Book", which records the details of each district's plans, including all the progress and failures of
those plans. Tun has worked hard to ensure that the income of the farmers is commensurate with
their efforts. He has formed various government agencies to achieve this goal, and the most
effective are the Federal and State Land Development Authorities.

The multiplied progress is evident from the amount of land opened, the types of crops cultivated,
the number of pupils schooled, the variety of enterprises and the financial and technical assistance
facilities. At the time of Tun also see the participation of the Malays and Bumiputra more rapidly
in business, especially with the establishment of agencies such as MARA, Pernas and other results
of the proposals by the Congresses held Bumiputra Economy. In short, all forms of development
felt by the people today are mainly due to the efforts and firm will of Tun Abdul Razak. The
formation of Malaysia in 1963 was a historical political development in Malaysia, although it was
greeted with significant opposition by certain parties. Tun's stature as the Minister of Defense was
put to the test. Finally, the crisis can be resolved peacefully. Tun should be known not only as the
Father of Development but also as the Father of Peace.

After the May 1969 elections, a racial catastrophe erupted in Kuala Lumpur. A state of emergency
was declared, and the country was ruled by the National Operations Council (MAGERAN) led by
Tun Abdul Razak, who ruled by "decree". Tun's love for parliamentary democracy was evident
because he still thought-full power would not serve the people well in those critical moments. As
the Director of MAGERAN, Tun succeeded in restoring peace, fostering harmony and goodwill
and restoring the people's trust in the government. The result of the discussions in the National
Consultative Council gave birth to the Rukun Negara. These principles are the key to peace
between races and aim to achieve the nation's progress and country. The appointment of Tun Abdul
Razak as Prime Minister on 22 September 1970 was first followed by more than 20 years of

14

experience as a UMNO member, 19 years as UMNO Deputy President, 15 years as a Minister in
various Ministries and 21 months as a Director of MAGERAN. His plan as Prime Minister is clear
from his words, "Thirteen Years of Merdeka if it is likened to a house, we have erected the frame,
pillars, roof and floor. Now we must have the walls and other appliances so that the house can
follow the shape and appearance that we want".

In the mid -the 1970s, a meaningful New Economic Policy (NEP) was launched by Tun. The
implications of this policy lie in its two-pronged goal - to eradicate poverty regardless of race and
restructure society to eliminate racial identification through economic activity. The incarnation of
the New Economic Policy and Rukun negara from the people's heart following the 13 May incident
has given a new impetus and enthusiasm to the people to take another step forward in their struggle
towards fostering political, economic, and economic social stability. With some of these successes,
Tun worked to strengthen UMNO after political activities were restored in 1971. When he became
UMNO President, the UMNO Headquarters established several Bureaus at the central level. To
foster cooperation in politics, join under one roof. The formation of the Barisan Nasional in 1974
was a concrete step towards such collaboration. Tun's intentions are very pure because it is rare
for a significant ruling party to want to work with opposition parties. With the formation of Barisan
Nasional, Tun managed to change the politics of confrontation in the country to the politics of
accommodation.

Tun Abdul Razak's prominence is not limited to domestic issues only. Tun is aware of the
importance of formulating an effective foreign policy to ensure the security of the country and the
Southeast Asian region. In a short time, Tun laid the foundations for an independent and active
Malaysian foreign policy to forge a friendship with all countries that respect and want to be friends
with Malaysia regardless of their political ideology or social system. As a result of Tun's thinking,
the Southeast Asian exclusion policy was born in 1971. This policy emphasized that the region
should be made a peaceful, independent and neutral area. Tun has also paved the way for a more
realistic policy towards the People's Republic of China. In May 1974, Tun took the initiative to
pay an official visit to the country to establish diplomatic relations. The move carries critical
political implications in relations between the two countries and the region.

15

In the historic year 1971 as well, the national cultural policy was introduced by Tun. This culture
is rooted in the local elements of the region, Islam and appropriate elements from other cultures.
Tun is also a person who highly praises literary activities by creating Literary Prizes for quality
works. In religion, he continued Tunku's efforts to accelerate further the development of Islam.
The person responsible approved ample provisions for the construction of mosques and surau
throughout the country as places of worship for Muslims.

Tun Abdul Razak is a dynamic "innovator" in matters of national development and at the
international level. The second Prime Minister of Malaysia has planned various reforms and
formulated new policies in governing and developing the country. Despite his gentle and quiet

Malaysia is now known and proud of its achievements and position among developed countries.
Tun Abdul Razak has devoted his energy and his entire life to the struggle to uphold national
sovereignty, people's well-being, and peace. His services are invaluable, and his kindness to the
country is boundless.
