Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid's tribute to Tan Sri Abdul Kadir Shamsuddin

On 1 April 2019 Tun Ahmad Sarji bin Abdul Hamid, who was the Chief Secretary to the Government (1990 - 1996), penned a "Tribute" which was published in the book "THE POWER of DEEDS: The Untold Story of Abdul Kadir Shamsuddin."

Among others he said "I found that he had great powers of memory and comprehension, together with a formidable legal learning and administrative experience. He was bold and innovative."

He further added "I can say of him that it is given to a few to be a legend in their own lifetime. As this biography will testify, his strength lay ini his administrative genius, his laudable mission to bring changes to the public service and a doughty defender of the country's interests."
