Politics in the blood: (Clockwise from top) Second Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein with his family, including the present Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak; DAP stalwart Kit Siang, Guan Eng and the Lim family members; and Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and family standing before a portrait of their grandfather Tun Onn Jaafar with (inset) Tun Hussein Onn.
