KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 — Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil today has proposed a national initiative to preserve and revive historical speeches and writings of Malaysia’s founding leaders for future generations.
He said the initiative, inspired by the reprint of pioneering journalist J. Victor Morais’ Great Wisdom of the First Malaysians, could involve retrieving rare speeches, writings and historical accounts from archives.
“I will discuss with National Unity Minister (Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang) to identify the most appropriate steps. If possible, we will work towards organising something in conjunction with National Month celebrations next year.”
Fahmi said this at the launch of Great Wisdom of the First Malaysians – A Reprint of Selected Speeches by Pioneering Journalist J. Victor Morais here today.
