R.I.P – Nelson Mandela

He is one of the world’s most revered statesmen. The former president and freedom fighter led the struggle to replace the apartheid regime of South Africa with a multi racial democracy. It was interesting to note that Mr. Mandela have actually visited Malaysia three times back in 1990, 1993 and 1997. He have the opportunity to taste our national fruit; durian while touring a FELDA land scheme at Serting Hilir in Negri Sembilan, was granted an audience with the then Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Azlan Shah at the Istana Negara, addressed the nation at a public rally at Stadium Merdeka, toured the Proton Saga production plant, the Sultan Salahuddin Mosque in Shah Alam and was even a guest of honor at a dinner hosted by the Barisan National. Mandela is truly an international patriot, a world class leader who is an icon for all of the world, regardless of creed, country or continent. His legacy is truly amazing.
