Background: LONDON TODAY (TUESDAY) HONOURED THE MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER, TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN, WITH THE RARELY BESTOWED FREEDOM OF THE CITY AND HEARD HIM WARN OF THREATS TO PEACE BY SMALL NATIONS MISUSING THEIR NEW POWERS OR MISMANAGING THEIR INDEPENDENCE.

THE TUNKU SPOKE AFTER A CENTURIES-OLD CEREMONY IN THE HISTORIC GUILDHALL WHERE HE WAS MADE A FREEMAN OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

THE ONLY OTHER ASIAN LEADER EVER TO RECEIVE THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY OF LONDON - THE HIGHEST HONOUR THE CITY CAN BESTOW - WAS THE LATE PANDIT JAWAHARLEA NEHRU, IN 1956. THE HONOUR ROLL DATES FROM 228 YEARS AGO.
