 The Ungku A. Aziz Project is a project of the Malaysian Economic Association (Persatuan Ekonomi Malaysia), in collaboration with the Library, University of Malaya and the University of Malaya Press. The Project's aim is to collocate and reprint selected major writings over seven decades by Royal Professor Ungku A. Aziz. This is undertaken to honour Ungku as an educationist, economist, and agent of change par excellence; with the objectives of preserving his works, and to facilitate access to his writings and publications for purposes of research and education. This Project is a part of the Tribute paid to Ungku by the Faculty of Economics & Administration, University of Malaya, to commemorate 50 years of the Faculty in September 2016. This publication is presented to Ungku as felicitation on the occasion of his 95th birthday on 28 January 2017. This publication is for non-profit, educational, private study and research purposes. This initiative resulted in the publication of a 5-Volume book collection entitled "ROYAL PROFESSOR UNGKU A. AZIZ: WRITING FOR THE NATION" which was presented to Pak Ungku on the 15th of December 2017. Tan Sri Sulaiman Mahbob, the President of MEA, reminisced that, like so many others, he had been one of Ungku's students at the Department of Economics, University of Malaya, then in Singapore, commented on the significance of the project , and its usefulness for the current and future generations of students and researchers, who would not otherwise have access to Ungku's research, philosophy and thoughts. He paid tribute to Ungku for his groundbreaking work, which had led to deep institutional reform, which in turn effectively improved the lot of the rural community, He commented on the key role played by Mrs. Khoo Siew Mun, the coordinator of the Ungku Aziz Project in ensuring the completion of the project and thanked all who had contributed. The book series is published by UM Press.
