What is instructive for Malaysian politics today in studying the legacy of Tun Hussein Onn, Datuk Onn Ja’afar and Datuk Ja’afar Mohamed is the public virtue they embodied and the values, principles and personal sacrifices for public service that they represented.
What came across was not just a confirmation of his reputation as a man of principles and values, but a man with the strength of his convictions and a leader so acutely aware of the corruption of power and the grave responsibility of leadership and public office.
Some lessons from the philosophy and wisdom of Hussein on political leadership, public virtue and public office which escaped public attention in the 1970s might be instructive for all of us today.

 Hishammuddin is Wrong to Say that Article 121(1A) Makes Malaysia An Islamic State
Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein is wrong to say in the Utusan Malaysia today that Malaysians have no right to question, oppose or challenge BN’s position that Article 121(1A) of the Federal Constitution makes Malaysia an Islamic state.
Hishamuddin appears to have forgotten that it was his own father, former Prime Minister Tun Hussein Onn who declared that Malaysia is not an Islamic state.
In that judgment, Tun Salleh Abas ruled that the syariah law was not the basic law of the land and that the constitution was the supreme law.

Indeed, both the Tunku and Hussein Onn applied to form another Umno in 1988 but they failed because Mahathir was then the home minister who also controlled the Registrar of Societies.
Of course, in the context of the 1987-1988 power struggle and from Mahathir's vantage-point, the Tunku, Hussein Onn, Ku Li and Rais Yatim were all traitors because they formed a new party to oppose Mahathir's Umno after the original Umno was declared illegal by the courts.
