THE MYTH OF DATO' ONN JAAFAR: The Forgotten Hero

The Myth Of Dato' Onn Jaafar: The Forgotten Hero (English)

Dato’ Onn was the first modern Malay leader to attain political eminence in his own country. A visionary who was ahead of his time, Dato Onn’s contributions shape the destiny of his nation, which were tangled to shameless truths and untruths. Constantly strove to ‘punch above his weight’, he was the first man to bring the Malays together under one political movement that changed the landscape of politics which mould modern Malaysia to its current day.

Dato’ Onn was the first politician to put tangentially aside his racial sentiments for the sake of his country, a virtue scarce even to the present day. His pursuit of racial unity was fought without intentions to compromise the Malays as the sons and daughters of the soil of the country. He left UMNO when his proposition to turn the Party into a multi-racial political party was rejected.

Although Dato’ Onn failed to win in the General Election in 1955 to become the first prime minister of Malaya, he continued to have a non-impecunious role in paving the way for Malaya to achieve independence on 31st August 1957. Dato’ Onn asserted once that, “If UMNO was to achieve Malaya as an independent nation, I hope it will only be abide with nationalistic stance.”

As the trajectory of his political career was not relentlessly linked with UMNO who was involved in negotiations for Malaya’s independence, Dato’ Onn’s leadership persona became a fading star. Unfortunately until his death in 1962, Dato’ Onn was not bestowed nor even considered an award, such as the prestigious title ‘Tun’ which was granted to his other political comrades. A forgotten hero was in the making to justify his ‘perceived’ deception to UMNO and his people of the Malay race. This book examines key events in the history of Dato’ Onn and his nation in hope to illuminate the unspoken truth of a man obscured in the reminiscence of modern-day Malaysia.
