Legasi Tan Chee Khoon bukti politik tak perlu berasaskan kaum, kata Jomo

Jomo Kwame Sundaram, an economist, emphasized in a public forum that Malaysia's political landscape has seen a significant shift, moving away from being solely driven by ethnicity. He stated that Tan Chee Khoon, a prominent dissident, actively participated in the United Labor Party (which later disbanded) from its inception and was part of a larger progressive wave, not defined by any particular group.

The debates during that time centered around different national ideas and visions for the future, with Tan playing a significant role in this discourse.
