1. Ahmad Sarji bin Abdul Hamid, Tun 1938-, – Anecdotes 2. Historic sites 3. Historic buildings 4. Autobiography 5. Malaysia – Officials and employees – Anecdotes “If we believe that heritage buildings tell a story of the city, its people, its way of life, then what happens when they are destroyed? It is imperative now that we look upon these buildings as assets rather than liabilities because they represent the history of communities through their architecture and urban form. “Doubtless the West will come to know the Malays better if they study these distinguished renditions of Malay classical literature. As they familiarize themselves with the literature they will quickly come to recognize that beneath the exotic and orientalist veneer, and across the lines that divide, we share many common values and aspirations. They will come away with an enlarged sense of both the unique genius of Malay civilization and its impact across the ages.” ~ Tun Ahmad Sarji
