Tunku Abdul Rahman - Architect of the Federal Constitution

One cannot think of Malaysia's independence day, without thinking of the late Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, Malaya's first Prime Minister. Ahead of our 65th independence day, we reflect on the role Tunku played in securing our nation's independence, and also look at the role the Merdeka Constitution played in shaping the nation's new path as an independent nation. Joining us to do this are Emeritus Professor Datuk Dr Hj Shad Saleem Faruqi, Holder of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Chair at the University of Malaya and a trustee of Yayasan Tunku Abdul Rahman (YTAR), Johan Rozali-Wathooth, also a trustee YTAR, and Ida Thien, the Deputy CEO of YTAR. The trio also share how Yayasan Tunku Abdul Rahman is preserving Tunku’s legacy through its programmes and initiatives.
