One of the persons who inspires me -haziq

DATUK SERI MAHATHIR MOHAMAD

Mahathir Mohamad was born in 1925 in Alor Setar, Malaysia.He was the fourth prime minister of Malaysia and known as 'Bapa Kemodenan'. He improved the economy and was a champion of developing nations. After finishing Islamic grammar schools and graduating from the local college, Mahathir attended medical school at the University of Malaya in Singapore. He was an army physician before forming a private practice at the age of 32. He was a doctor before becoming a politician with the UMNO party, and ascended quickly from member of parliament to prime minister. Mahathir had a significant impact on the economy, culture and government of Malaysia. He won five consecutive elections and served for 22 years, longer than any other prime minister in Malaysia’s history. One of his most significant infrastructure projects was the North-South Expressway, a highway that runs from the Thai border to Singapore. Mahathir’s record on civil liberties, as well as his criticisms of Western economic policies and industrialized nations’ policies toward developing countries, made his relationships with the United States, Britain and Australia difficult.
Mahathir retired in 2003, and remains an active and visible part of Malaysia’s political landscape. He is an ardent critic of Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, whom he chose to succeed him.
I inspire him because he guided Malaysia into a better and advanced country. Im happy with what he had done. I dont think Malaysia would be a really advanced country wthout him.
