Some people called him 'Malay Ultra' and also 'Little Suharto along his career as a politician. He was considered as one of Asia's most influent leaders. He also noted in Western as outspoken person.
When I read a book about him titled "The Other Side of Mahathir" I'm touch with his conversation with our first Prime Minister. Tunku asked, will people remember of me, after I'm gone? He only silent.
Nowadays, our federal administative is located in Putrajaya, a planned city. The city is named of the first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra. In Malay Language, the Sanskrit-derived words 'Putra' means son while 'Jaya' means excel or success.
Putrajaya was inspired by him and it's one of an attractive place for tourist to visit.
