Tunku Abdul Rahman the 1st Prime Minister standing on the left, proclaming indepedence for Malaya in 1957 in Merdeka Stadium
Tunku Abdul Rahman
Tuanku Abdul Rahman
To all the Malaysian banknotes collectors out there....
There is a mistake about how most collector would "label" the portrait on Malaysian banknote on the obverse, that i would like to clarify....
Regarding Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Tunku Abdul Rahman...
For clarification, the person potrayed on the obverse is
Colonel Paduka Sri Sir TUANKU ABDUL RAHMAN(1895-1960), the 1st YDP AGUNG , supreme head of state of Malaysia, originally the Yang Dipertuan Besar of a state called Negeri Sembilan.....His vignette is on the obverse of all Malaysia banknotes.
TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN(1903-1990) on the other hand was never portrayed in the notes except the latest 50th years of independent RM50 Note in the REVERSE SIDE....TUNKU is the Bapa Malaya and Bapa Malaysia also, or the Father of Independence and Father of Malaysia. Tunku is a prince from the state called Kedah on the Northern region of Malaysia............
So please don embarass yourself with the wrong notation/quotation....
Biasalah. Malaysian usually not very well informed about their history lesson.
回复删除I have asked many young people in the teens or early adult.
Many do not know whose portrait is displayed on every Malaysian banknote! What a shock!
aiyo, as a malaysian i would feel so embarass if i couldnt do the simple differentiation like this....
回复删除Malulah bang....
My former school is Sekolah Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Ipoh, named after his name.
回复删除I occasionally give trivia to my friends about our banknotes, one of them is who is the person in our banknote. Most of them even didnt say abdul rahman, what more differentiating between those two, hehe
Mnfaj,
回复删除Oh your school is named after the 1st Agung!?!?Nice...
A lot people has forgotten their history....
