The progressive nationalist. A world citizen. The light of Asia. A visionary beyond his times. A free spirit that was yet tortured by the tyranny that his countrymen bore. An encircled warrior who had to combat with friend and foe alike. A man missing since 17 August, 1945, last seen in Saigon on that day. A patriot perennial whom his countrymen have largely forgotten in effective terms and remember him only to raise the clamour political over his looming personality in absentia.
