Trivia

Dato Onn Jaafar was the founder of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party in Malaysia, forming the party in 1946 to protest the formation of the Malayan Union. However, he left the party in 1951 due being disgusted over the party's refusal to include non-Malay members and its Malay supremacy policies.
