He was among those instrumental in the formulation of the Rukunegara (National Principles) following the aftermath of the 1969 race riots, to promote unity and harmony among races. Serving for over fifty years at the Department of History, University of Malaya, he has authored countless works in English and Malay and is currently Emeritus Professor in the History Department of the University of Malaya.

DATUK MOHAMMAD NOR KHALID Iconic Malaysian Artist Better known by his professional name, Lat, Datuk Mohammad Nor Khalid is a household name whose works reflect the realities of Malaysian life and the world beyond, appearing in national newspapers such as New Straits Times and Berita Minggu; his series in the New Straits Times ran for 40 years! His deft comedic touch on everything from kampong life to Malaysia's social and political scenes, and poetic attention to small details in everyday life, has endeared him to readers in Malaysia and across the globe. He was awarded the title of Datuk by the former Sultan of Perak, who recognized the value of his unbiased and honest portrayals in promoting social harmony and understanding. He is also a recipient of the Fukuoka Prize in Arts and Culture for capturing and preserving a unique part of Asia’s culture. Today, young Malaysians know him through the animated series Kampong Boy, based on his book of the same name, first published in 1979.

The pair also qualified for the 2004 and 2008 Olympics and reached a career high of being ranked No. 1 in the world. In 2015, he returned to serve as the men’s doubles back-up coach, helping to guide Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin Rumsani to the finals of the Malaysian Masters badminton championships earlier this year.

  • MAHATHIR WINS VIET OPEN PRELIMINARY ROUND (Bernama
    19 NOV 1997 VN-Badminton MAHATHIR WINS VIET OPEN PRELIMINARY ROUND HANOI, Nov 18 (Bernama) -- The Vietnam Open 97 badminton tournament began today with trepidation among members of the comparatively small Malaysian team but with Mahathir Mustaffa easily winning his preliminary round. Mahathir, the sole men's singles player in the team, began ticking after a lethargic start to beat unknown Thai Sirachai Panpatchara 15-10, 5-4 at the Hanoi Indoor Stadium here. The other singles player registered for the Vietnam Open 97 -- the last leg of the badminton circuit before the World Grand Prix championships in Jakarta next month -- was Jason Wong but he had opted out because of injury. Mahathir faces a relatively experienced British player Mark Constable later in the evening which would also see the mixed doubles encounter between Tan Kim Her-Norashikin Amin and Denmark's Larsen Jesper-Ann Jorgensen. Recuperating from injury would also be in the minds of national pair Cheah Soon Kit and Yap Kim Hock as this will only be the second international outing by the two together since the Thai Open. Before last week's Thai Open Kim Hock was absent from the badminton scene since May due to injuries. Kim Hock had stated that he would try his best but could not be playing 100 per cent due to the long absence. The seeded pair, now slated as world no 13, will only get to play tomorrow meeting the winners of the match between Vietnam's Le Dai Thang-Tran Duc Sang and Singapore's Patrick Lau-Zhao Jianhua.

  • DONG JIONG WITHDRAWS from MALAYSIAN OPEN (Bernama 04
    04 JUL 1997 Badminton-Open DONG JIONG WITHDRAWS FROM MALAYSIAN OPEN By: Hamdan Saaid KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 (Bernama) -- Olympic silver medalist and world number one Dong Jiong of China has withdrawn from the US$180,000 (RM450,000) Malaysian Open badminton championships in Kota Kinabalu from July 9 to 13. The Chinese Badminton Association has informed the organisers that Dong, who had also pulled out from the World Championships in Glasgow due to high fever, was unable to compete due to injury. It was another set back for the championships which had earlier seen the withdrawal of reigning world champion Peter Rasmussen of Denmark while Malaysia's top doubles champ Yap Kim Hock pulled out due to shoulder injury, forcing his partner Cheah Soon Kit to find a new partner. In Dong's absence, former world champion Joko Suprianto of Indonesia has been seeded first in the six-star tournament while defending champion Ong Ewe Hock has been drawn to meet Joko in the final. According to the seedings released by the International Badminton Federation (IBF), Ewe Hock is in the same half with third seed Peter-Gade Christensen of Denmark. Christensen, who became the first European since Morten Frost Hansen to win a title in Asia when he won the Taiwan Open this year, is expected to clash with the Malaysian in the semifinal. Three-time champion Rashid Sidek has been seeded fourth and is likely to come up with Joko in the last four. Rashid beat him in the quarterfinals in the Olympi c Games in Atlanta.

  • Our Badminton Greats
    Our Badminton Greats The sport is believed to have been invented around 1873 in England and named after the country estate, Badminton, of the Duke of Beaufort whose guests called it "the Badminton game." The Bath Badminton Club, organized in 1877, developed the first written rules and in 1893, the Badminton Association of England was founded as the first national governing body and the first All-England championship was held in 1899. Popularized by British army officers in India, badminton eventually made its way to Malaya. ccording to school records, the game was first introduced to the V.I. in 1911 by the Headmaster, Mr. B. E. Shaw. Perhaps it was at the V.I. that the first badminton matches were played in Malaya but we cannot be absolutely sure of this. What we can be sure of is that these humble beginnings beside the Klang River and later on Petaling Hill helped spawn some of the great shuttlers who put Malaya and Malaysia on the badminton map of the world. Two gravel courts were initially made by Mr Shaw for the use of the Senior Cambridge classes and another court was added later on for the juniors. In 1921, three other courts became available for the use of the Lower School boys and Chua Chong Kwee was appointed the V.I.’s first badminton captain in 1923. As the sport gained popularity, Mr Shaw’s successor, Mr Richard Sidney, appointed Mr Yap Swee Hin as the badminton master in 1925 and added eight more new gravel courts for inter-house matches.
