...terms, the Malays-largely rural, uneducated and unenterprising -feared domination by the Chinese-aggressive, technically able and urban -who ran just about everything except the bureaucracy. It was just a matter of time before the ugly jealousies brought trouble to a climax. The federation was given the coup de grace by the very man who had conceived it, Prime Minister Tunku (Prince) Abdul Rahman, 62, an aristocratic, Cambridge-educated lawyer. Convalescing in the south of France from an attack of shingles, following attendance at the Commonwealth Conference in London last June, the Tunku drew up a balance sheet...

Today his oils regularly fetch from $50,000 to $55,000, and his record auction price of $82,500 last April has already been nearly doubled in private sales. His original signed and numbered lithographs bring up to $1,200; his watercolors are priced as high...
