Dari ‘Small Boy’ ke pengibar bendera Malaysia, anak abadikan kisah Jusit
Juliana Jusit menyusun catatan bapanya merangkumi zaman kanak-kanak bersama keluarga Agnes Keith, warisan keluarga dan detik pembentukan Malaysia.
Jusit Rantai, known as the 'Small Boy' for his role in raising the Malaysian flag during the country's formation, is now seeking to have his memoir published as an adult. Juliana Jusit, his daughter, is working on the book using her father's handwritten notes and memories. Born in Sook, Keningau, Jusit began writing his life story after being inspired by his time living with the Keith family in Sandakan around the 1930s.
His father, Harry Keith, took notes of his life experiences before passing them on to Juliana. The memoir is filled with historical significance and personal family stories, including Jusit's involvement in the Rundum rebellion and his father, Ensing, who was an Iban police officer. Juliana hopes that sharing her father's story will teach her children about their family origins and cultural heritage.
The memoir will be published with the help of a university, and the family hopes it will be accessible to students to understand their roots.
