Lessons from dad helps minister get the job done

When Malaysian Second Minister of Finance Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah was growing up, his father sent him to a school where he had to walk six kilometres every day instead of the one next door.

The reason, his father said, was to teach him discipline and expose him to people from different backgrounds.

Now at the age of 60, the dapper Husni says he still benefits from the lessons his father taught him as he tries to strengthen Malaysia's financial and diplomatic ties with China.
