About This Book

Archival photographs, anecdotes, interviews and written tributes are brought together in this volume, which celebrates the life and achievements of Harun Abdul Shani (1939-2005). His career is traced from his birth in poverty, orphanage education, work as a teacher, and later as Secretary-General of the Malay Teachers' Union, and from 1991, and as a Member of Parliament. His warm personality, constructive commitment to drug abusers and their families, and to the needs of the Malay community gave him a unique status. The book describes the ongoing assistance given to the children of drug abusers by the Harun Ghani Education Fund. Partly in Malay.
