The day I tore a letter from Dr Mahathir when I was at Columbia University, New York City!
Finas was founded in July 1980 - File photo courtesy of Astro Awani. It's not something that I am proud to admit and write about, but it is something that had caused the government to lose RM1.5 billion if the letter that was written by then Deputy Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was totally different than the one he had written to me when I was just into my second semester working for my Master of Fine Art in Film Directing at Columbia University in New York City.
