The life and legacy of Tun Abdul Razak have been the subject of several important publications that
document his personal journey, political vision, and lasting impact on Malaysia’s development.
These books serve as valuable resources for scholars, students, and anyone interested in
understanding the depth of his contributions
The Foundation’s mission to nurture young leaders and strengthen communities is guided by the core principles that defined Tun Razak’s leadership.
Through the New Economic Policy (1971), Tun Razak sought to eradicate poverty and create fair opportunities for all Malaysians. This vision of balanced growth remains central to the Foundation’s work, reflected in initiatives that expand access to education and support community-driven development.
Tun Razak viewed education as the foundation of national unity. His leadership of the Razak Report (1956) shaped Malaysia’s national education system, while the Rukun Negara strengthened shared values and social cohesion. These principles continue to guide efforts to build mutual respect, collaboration, and responsible leadership among young Malaysians.
Deeply committed to rural and underserved communities, Tun Razak established key institutions such as FELDA and introduced practical development plans including the Red Book and Green Book. This legacy of action and integrity lives on through leadership development and community initiatives that empower young people to create meaningful impact.
The Tun Razak Foundation exists to carry forward a legacy built on integrity, unity, and service. By investing in young leaders, the Foundation ensures that Tun Razak’s vision continues to shape Malaysia’s future.
