Malaysia's "Iron Lady" Speaks Her Mind

Courtesy www.nst.com.my. Listen to a Former Minister of Trade as well as Industry as well as Incumbent Member of Parliament for Kuala Lumpur talk about her life, priorties, governing body as well as crime as well as her "retirement".

On integrity, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, dubbed Malaysia's " Iron Lady",has this say: "never, ever doubt my integrity. Never! Because that is a only thing in my hold up that we esteem most. Because without integrity,(there is no point) job yourself MinisterThat's my hold up principle." She schooled that early in her life, actually from Tun Ismail Mohamed Ali, a mythological Bank Negara Malaysia Governor. She was in Bank Negara before joining a University of Malaysia to aspire to her Masters degree in Economics as well as as Tutor-Lecturer.

I know both Tan Sri Rafidah as well as her husband, Tan Sri Basir Ahmad from approach behind in a 1960s. Tan Sri Basir as well as we were in Bank Negara together with Tunku A. Aziz until 1972 when we left a service.

Although we do not follow her governing body closely as well as have been vicious of her Approved Permit policy (and she talks about it in a NST interview), we do know she has clever philosophy as well as a courage to verbalise her mind. we also know from observing her personally. She was essay her own Keynote Speech upon house a MAS flight to Taipeh, Taiwan with Malaysian investment goal of which we was a part of from Sime Darby together an additional colleague, Abdul Shukor Nagor in a mid-1980s. we happened to ask her what she was doing. She said, " we write my own speeches". we was astounded since alternative ministers (with a exception of Tun Dr. Mahathir) depend upon their staff. When we listened to her verbalise a following morning, she displayed confidence, intrepidity as well as mastery of contribution as well as total as well as was in her e! lements when talking about Malaysian trade as well as investment policies, UNCTAD, WTO as well as globalisation.

Arguably, she is, in my view, a best MITI Minister a country ever had. My friend, varsity partner as well as MIDA Director-General, Dato N. Sadasivan, told me that " Din, Rafidah is a very demanding though fair trainer with a flair for details, as well as has a very clever personality".Din Merican
