A LEGEND FOR ALL REASONS: A Tribute to Tan Sri Dr Abdul Majid bin Ismail
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
In the chronicle of life, the passing away of a person is oft simply noted as demise. At other times, such an event is recorded as the end of an era. The passing away of Tan Sri Abdul Majid marks a watershed in the history of our country, the period of transition between the Colonial years and the birth of the Malayan nation. Abdul Majid’s life and times spanning 92 years reminds us of another person in another era in another country who rose from the log cabin to the White House, but just more remarkable that ours was in a far- flung outpost of the British Empire.
