Model Answer 1:
Malaysia has a long history and different people have been renowned for their 
outstanding performances to enrich the country which has turned in the 
history today. Tunku Abdul Rahman is the former first prime minister of 
Malaya after independence and a historical figure. 
Tunku Abdul Rahman is the former politician, chief minister of the Federation 
of Malaya after its independence from the British colonial rule and also served 
as the president of Malaysia for seven years (his tenure lasted from 1963 to 
1970). His political career began after his graduation and served numerous 
purposes for the country. The countrymen commonly call him Tunku and are 
considered as the founding father of the country Malaysia. He is also termed as 
Bapa Malaysia and widely praised for his contribution to the development of 
the country. He has experienced and participated in numerous events ranging 
from the colonial rule and independent and had a direct role in the movements 
as he was a royal family member of the country.
Tunku has lots of contribution for the development of Malaysia and nobody 
has thought about the country as like him in the days when the country 
experienced colonial rule. The country was being exploited by the rulers from 
different aspects and in such a situation the emergence of Tunku made the 
deal. He became the president of United Malays National Organization at first 
and won the election in 1955. Then he turned into the prime minister of 
Malaya. Gradually his political career advanced and then declared to be the 
chief of the country on media. But he did not want to be violent in grabbing

the power rather sought simplified ways to get on the seat. He travelled to 
London for making the country independent and made negotiation with the 
rulers and finally the country was free of the colonial rulers and he became the 
prime minister of the independent Malaysia. 
Tunku was born in 1903 in Malay on February 8. At that moment, the British 
domination was almost everywhere in the globe and Malaysia was not an 
exception. The British people have entered at the places where they have 
found potentials to dominate the people and gain their benefits. So, Tunku 
observed many of the incidents of the British rulers and consequently shaped 
his mind to change the scenario. He had the opportunity to bring a change as 
he was born in the royal family and was the 20th child of his father. He studied 
in Debsurin School in Bangkok and for his exceptional merit; Cambridge 
University offered him a scholarship to continue his studies at the university. 
Though he studied law, he did not take the law as his profession and he also 
lost interest when he could not succeed in the exam in first chance in the early 
days of his life. Later, when he passed the exam after several retakes, he was 
appointed as the deputy public prosecutor before he joined in politics. He 
breathed his last at the age of 87 in 1990.
He is still an important political figure in the history of Malaysia. In the dawn of 
Malaysian independence, he raised his voice and understood that the country 
needs independence to move forward. His future vision has brought the 
country to the current position. His wide envision about the independent 
Malaysia has become true today and now the country is considered as one of 
the most developed countries. If did not take the attempts to make the 
country free from the rulers and continued his post of deputy prosecutor, it is 
difficult to say that Malaysia could not have moved ahead. During the colonial 
ruling period, the countrymen experienced different troubles in their social 
and professional life and the issue of racism was more prevalent that many of 
the natives had to leave their jobs and social status being insulted by the 
rulers. The situations turn worst and Tunku wanted to solve without any 
bloodshed. Finally, he became successful and thus he took himself into a 
different height. People still remember his contribution to the country and pay 
cordial homage in his birth and death dates.
