Malaysian survivor of Hiroshima died at 88

In memory of "sensei [Abdul Razak]"

A touching eulogy as well as a brief sketch of one of Malaysias well loved and respected figures.

The website (see link above) does justice to the memory of Japanese language afficianado and educator, Abdul Razak Hamid, whom students endearingly called "Sensei Abdul Razak".

Not only is this an inspiring story of brotherly love and peaceful integration, but it tells of the horrors of the nuclear attack America perpetrated on Nagasaki/Hiroshima to "end the war" (WWII).

A fact hardly known to many ordinary folks is that Japan signed the nuclear non-proliforation treaty of its time, [actually] "three non-nuclear Principles" [it adopted] post-war due to the effects on its own population, and owing to the realization of the devastation such weapons of mass destruction would cause.
