ms:Perbincangan:Tunku Abdul Rahman
As requested, I have copyedited this article, and reduced the overly-admiring tone.
Questions arising:
Adam 1 July 2005 07:22 (UTC)
YTM is Yang Teramat Mulia, the title of the son of a reigning Sultan. As for Alor Star/Setar, I think Setar is the "correct" spelling but Star remains more common. Jpatokal 1 July 2005 08:32 (UTC)
Thanks. If YTM is the title of the son of a reigning Sultan, then what is Tunku? Is this a hereditary title, or did he acquire it? If so, when? Adam 1 July 2005 08:44 (UTC)
Sorry to repeat myself, but:
Adam 4 July 2005 12:31 (UTC)
Now YTM has disappeared and "Tunku Sam" has appeared. I have never heard this name and it gets no Google hits. Is this a joke? And could our Malaysian friends please come up with an agreement on what he ought to be called? Adam 12:37, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
I'm surprised that there is no mention of this subject in the article. Grant | Talk 06:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I've read through the article [1] and can't find reasons for the tagging done. Please explain whats wrong with the article. Nsaa ( talk) 16:52, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
"remaining Prime Minister following the formation of Malaysia in 1963, when Sabah, Sarawak, and Singapore joined the federation, until his retirement in 1970."
It is unclear to what is meant by the word "federation" within that sentence because the word "federation" is used as a noun. Technically speaking, the act of federating Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore and Federation of Malaya formed Malaysia. To say that Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore joined the federation (assuming federation refers to Malaysia) is a confusing and misleading statement because there is nothing to be joined in the first place. It is also wrong to say Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore joined the Federation of Malaya simply because the Proclamation of Malaysia does not say so. The Proclamation of Malaysia states very clearly that the Federation of Malaysia is formed by the act of federating the sovereign states of North Borneo (Sabah), Sarawak, Singapore and Federation of Malaya. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.133.38.234 ( talk) 11:45, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
