In Memory of YABM Raja Tun Mohar bin Raja

Raja Mohar was a great-grandson of Sultan Abdullah of Perak. He carved a long and illustrious career in the public and private sectors that spanned 45 years.

In the public sector, Raja Mohar served under three prime ministers, starting with Tun Abdul Razak Hussein.

The former MAS and Petronas chairman was a humble, dedicated and gracious individual.

"He was a truly great man. He was a prince with the heart of a common man, ready to serve anyone, irrespective of status.

The late Raja Tun Mohar served in various government ministries before becoming the only person in Malaysian history to serve as Economic Advisor to three Prime Ministers. Retired in 1990 at the age of 68, the late Raja Tun Mohar continued to serve as Chairman to numerous public enterprises including Malaysia Airlines (MAS), the Tun Razak Foundation, and PERODUA among others.

Fondly remembered as a humble, pleasant, and approachable gentleman, the late Raja Tun Mohar left behind a legacy of integrity, positivism, sacrifice and dedication - virtues that the programme seeks to instill in its participants. It is in memory of the late Raja Tun Mohar's gentle and noble ways that the Raja Mohar Life Enrichment Awards Programme (MIM-RAMLEA) is created.
