Tun Mahathir bin Mohamad, Born in 1925, Malaysian longest prime minister and political leader. A doctor by
training, he first entered parliament in 1964 and rose in the United Malays National Organization (UMNO),
but lost his seat and was expelled from UMNO in 1969 after criticizing Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman
on direction and how Malay should change. Subsequently readmitted into UMNO, he was reelected to
parliament in 1974 and held several ministerial posts in the 1970s, including deputy prime minister
beginning in 1976.

Prime minister of a UMNO-led National Front coalition government after 1981, Mahathir sought to make
Malaysia an industrial nation and develop Malay businesses, and promoted nonindividualistic ³Asian values.´
Although Malaysia made enormous and rapid economic progress under Mahathir, political stability was
maintained by not tolerating dissent and restricting political freedoms, and his government was denounced
for human-rights abuses. He retired as prime minister in 2003. He is now acting as adviser to Petronas
(National Petroleum Company) and Proton (National Car Maker), both a leading companies in Malaysia
corporate world.

Tun Mahathir was fully back by most of Asian and Middle East countries in international political arena but a
lot of western leaders disagree with his opinion and leadership due to the following reasons:-

1.c He managed to open other leader's eyes that each country should be able to talk freely like other
developed countries.
2.c He always critics western and developed countries which look down on developing countries.
3.c He managed to be a leader of Islamic country and highly respected by other middle east leaders.
4.c He has taken out Malaysia from depending on certain countries only for any support like defence,
technology, trading partners, political support and other significant matters which reflect country's
pride.
5.c He brought Malaysia to be an example of succesful Islamic country to the west and the whole
world without jeopardizing the islamic teaching.
6.c He manage to convinced some world important leaders such as Prime Minister of France, President
of Russia and Counselor of Germany to listen to Malaysian views in certain political matters like war
on Iraq.
7.c He not listening to western leaders without any solid justification on why Malaysia should listen to
them. For Tun, Malaysia interest and pride are the most important. He don't want Malaysia to be in
control in term of political like other countries.
