Patto and the late V.David truly gave DAP a more multi-racial look. It's sad that these 2 great Malaysians are not around anymore to champion a more vibrant democracy in Malaysia. However it was nice to see Malaysians of all walks of life at the anti-I.S.A. candle-light vigil in Dataran Merdeka last Saturday 27th Sept 2008.

The Late P.Patto was a true Malaysian unfortunatley he was not address as he deserved because he was with YB LKS. But time has changed now. The recognition must be given to any Malaysian who deserved. The Perak government shall be applause for this new changes. Suggestion: Why not DAP set-up a foundation / research centre say as; Patto Foundation or Patto Research Centre. Please take into considerations on other hero's too. Vanakam……..

Have any one of you read the history book being used in schools these days? A mockery for HISTORY. God bless his family and his soul. p/s its great that these names are used. We have a few in Ipoh which has no meaning,like Jalan Gopeng is no Raja Bainun, Raja Nazrin Shah...i still prefer the old ones, Cowan Street, Cockman Street, Anderson Road, LOL....sometimes we still use these names as reference of the road instead of the new ones.

Patto had great spirit and even greater generosity. He left the teaching profession in the early 1970s, joined the DAP and never looked back. During his short life, he also dealt with successes and failures. Throughout it all, he remained undaunted and steadfast. If I may, here is a poem from Rudyard Kipling, "If." If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master; If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -- Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son! Viewed in whichever way, Patto was a Man. He was a true true son of Malaysia. Betul-betul anak Malaysia tulen ... Indefatigable P. Patto had great spirit and even greater generosity.

If I may, here is a poem from Rudyard Kipling, “If.”

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream — and not make dreams your master;
If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings — nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run –
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And — which is more — you’ll be a Man, my son!

Viewed in whichever way, Patto was a Man. He was a true true son of Malaysia. Betul-betul anak Malaysia tulen …
