The article was about the previous and first Prime Minister of Malaysia after it's independence from Britain - Tunku Abdul Rahman - who was educated in Cambridge, England. Tunku Abdul Rahman was the seventh son of Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah, the Sultan of Kedah. You can find the full article in the brochure "Travel 3 Sixty". The writer of the article - Mansor Puteh, interviewed the Prime Minister back in'89. He recalls when talking about his time in Cambridge, England there was some emotion shown by the Prime Minster, or as he was better known - "Tunku". Puteh is actually Tunku Abdul Rahman's brother in law and thus was able to spend much time in his company. This particular article relates the experience of Mansor and his nephew traveling to England to follow in the footsteps of Tunku. They arrived at Stanstead Airport (the same airport I left from) and proceeded to Cambridge to begin the "journey". Tunku spent his time at St Catherine's College, Cambridge so Mansor visited one of his lodgings in Grange Road near to the college. As it turns out Tunku was initially not accepted when he expressed his wish to live on the university campus grounds because he did "not look quite like other students". In other words, he had darker skin than everyone else at the university. The university Dean was totally shocked and proclaimed that of course he could live on campus but Tunku himself turned down the opportunity and chose to remain living off campus instead. Tunku died in'90 at the fine old age of 87. The author of this particular article, Mansor Puteh, is not only well known as a writer but also as a film maker. He is now working on a film titled "Malaysian Snow" which is based upon a group of Malaysian students currently living life and studying in Britain. The full article can be found in the "Travel 3 Sixty" magazine.
