Found a picture of my grandfather, Tun Razak, @MuhammadAli @AliCenter and British heavy weight Joe Bugner. Ali vs Bugner fight was fought in KL in 1975. Unfortunately the 25000+ crowd that greeted Ali at Subang Airport didn’t buy tickets to watch the fight and it was a bust!

Difference between Harun Idris and Najib? In Harun’s case, the whole party machinery was working against him except for Umno youth which dissented and refused to allow him to report to jail. Najib has had party machinery with him the whole time and all singing to his tune.

I have to say.. very interesting episode of the harun diaries podcast. Really interesting insight into the psychology of Dr Mahathir. Also asked him if he was in a plot to topple TARhmn 13/5 😜 (yes I did!). We also have input from a former Finance Minister 🍫🤫. See links below

A story about Tunku Abdul Rahman I heard from Cambridge students recentl- legend goes that speed limits were imposed in Cambridge due to Tunku speeding around and crashing his car- Guess speeding is in our blood 😂😂. He lived in Huntingdonshire for a while apparently!!

16 charges of corruption were levelled at Harun as well as charges of forgery and criminal breach of trust to do with raising monies for the Ali Bugner fight. The twist is that Tun Razak would shortly pass away in London and Hussein Onn, DPM (and TR bro in law) took over as PM

The fight was organised by UMNO youth who partnered Bank Rakyat to raise money to fund the fight. Datuk Harun was UMNO youth leader as well as BR chairman, went to see Tun Razak for approval and after a 20 minute meeting TR gave the go ahead

Joe Bugner arriving at Subang airport in 1975 to fight Muhammad Ali. Event that was supposed to showcase Malaysia to the world, ended up being used to bury Harun Idris. Looks good in his songkok though 😎

Despite the huge turnout at the airport (25000 choking up Subang Airport), not that many people bought tickets for the fight. There was also a rumour that Tun Razaks men were actively undermining the fight, threatening that there was going to be trouble Ala May 13th

I’ve finally got to interview my grandad about his long career in DBKL. It seems appropriate timing too with the collapsed tree news because he touched on his work towards making Kuala Lumpur a garden city way back in the 80s and 90s. Do have a listen.

Everybody knows that there have been problems in the system for decades. But if you keep pushing your workers to breaking point what do you expect? There is no good avenue to air grievances, things always swept covered up or someone scapegoated. Sad.. how to go home 🥲?

Just an example to show that all races fought against the colonisers in Malaya. My grandfather deserted the Japanese army to join Malayan Peoples Anti- Japanese Army MPAJA. MPAJA consisted mainly of Chinese communist guerrillas.

Privy council appeal failed. Arriving at Subang at 1505 on 20/2/77 he would record “The reception is perhaps the only one in the world for a convicted man. I was carried shoulder high and placed on a car. There were about 7-8k people. Forced to make a speech, I pleaded for calm”

Interesting also to reflect on how it was the youth wing of UMNO did all the legwork for the fight. An event that would be televised worldwide.. It was MUHAMMAD ALI after all. Their inexperience though meant that the fight suffered huge losses, as TV revenues went to Don King

Have had many years to think about and compare Harun Idris and Mahathir. Similar goals but very different personalities, methodologies and upbringing. Harun definitely more people centred- lasting ‘legacies’ - PKNS, Yayasan Selangor vs Twin Towers, Sepang F1, KLIA. Thoughts?

Harun was of the opinion that a trial was the best way to clear his name and so started one of the biggest trials in Msian history.. sadly he lost and was found guilty. The last resort in those days was to appeal to privy council in London

After Harun’s loss at 1975 UMNO elections he was now more exposed despite being MB of Selangor.. question was raised in parliament whether he had amassed personal wealth to the tune of $60 million. TR offered Harun a UN ambassador post to make the charges go away. Harun refused
