Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Malayan Pm in Vietnam. DESCRIPTION: Vietnam was the first foreign land visited by the Malay Premier since his country became independent. At a Temple in Hue, Tuanku Abdul Rahman and his wife were shown giant urns (commemorating nine Emperors), treasures of the historic Annamese Court. In the evening there was a special performance of music and dancing in honour of the Malay visitors. In the South, the hill-country near Dalat is famous for its scenic attractions. A waterfall was one of the beauty spots shown to the Tuanku. Then to Ceylon, where the tenth anniversary of independence was being celebrated. Tuanku presented a set of Malay daggers to his host.
