Died : 14 January 1976 (aged 53) For this paper, I have decided to write about Tun Abdul Razak as the eminent Malaysian leader. Tun Abdul Razak was the second Prime Minister of Malaysia after Tunku Abdul Rahman from 22nd September 1970 until 14th January 1976. Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, which is known as the Father of Development (Bapa Pembangunan) due to his efforts in setting up Barisan National, and also known as a leader that believes in young blood, and that young people are the key to the future of any country. He was the one responsible for hand picking Tun Dr. Mahathir and eventually mentoring him which led to him becoming the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia and became another great leader to the country just like he himself. Tun Abdul Razak Hussein was also responsible in setting up many key economic policies that was aimed at eradicating poverty in the nation. Back when the country just got its independence, Tun Abdul Razak was the Minister of Rural Development which he then went on to formulating the development policy known as the Red Book.
He was such a good man that I personally came to adore. Tun Razak was an active person even during the time of his study. During his student days in England, Tun Razak was a member of the British Labour Party and a prominent student leader of the Kesatuan Melayu Great Britain (Malay Association of Great Britain). He also formed the Malayan Forum, an organization for Malayan students to discuss their country's political issues. Upon his return from the United

Both of these two dimensionsof relationships are recognised by all religions and all profess doing the right things in life. The principles of Rukun Negara ideologise the level the level of authority that control and guide us from the level of god down to the state level, institutions level and finally the self level.
