Death
Dato Sir Clough Thuraisingham died in the early hours of the morning of 30 March 1979.

Tun Hussein Onn was Prime Minister of Malaysia in 1979 - one could say a befitting and poetic end to an important and utopian era in Malaysian politics.

Her soul had such desire
For what proud death may bring

The common good of life....”
