Hussein Onn

Malaysian statesman, born at Johor Bahru in 1922, the son of UMNO's founder Onn Jaafar. After a military commission in the British Indian Army and a legal career in London and Kuala Lumpur, he rose through UMNO to become deputy prime minister in 1973 and third prime minister in 1976, continuing the New Economic Policy until ill health forced his retirement in 1981; he died at San Mateo, California, in 1990.
