Tun Mahathir Warisan Negara

Regardless of whatever ideology we embrace and our political stands, none of Malaysian can deny the relentless effort delivered by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammed to modernize our beloved mother land, Malaysia. He was a great chief engineer who designate the prosperity of the country.

Once as a practitioner Medicine Doctor and graduated from the prestigious King Edward Medical College Singapore, Tun Mahathir the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia was in office from 1981 until 2003.
Even most Malaysians respect and love him for his leadership, expertise, proficiency and capability of steering the country from the poor 3rd world nation to the globally respected developing country, several controversial events and scandals during his reign had dreadfully tarnished his image and diminished the support and love from people.

Not to exaggerate much of his blunders, now i realize how much i respect him as a man of visionary, diligent, creativeness, industrialist, charismatic, great thinker, wisdom and the prime architect of modernizing Malaysia. Upon took over the position from then late Tun Hussein Onn, Tun Mahathir proactively introduced and implemented a few policies that fasten his endeavour in boosting the country economy and social fairness. The Look East Policy, Nation Privatization Policy, National Automotive Manufacturers such as PROTON and PERODUA which resulted hundreds of thousands of employment opportunities and simultaneously as a spring board to produce many Malays mega automotive parts manufacturers and distributors, PLUS, DRB-HICOM, MSIC, PNB, MSC, LRT, PTP, Putrajaya, KLIA, and many more had been established where he was the mastermind. He brought up the image of country to be respected of its economic surge and prowess among muslim countries and developing nations. Worldly renowned as the voice of 3rd world, muslim and southern communities, he'd never be afraid to stand up against Western super power in order to spread out the equal rights and confidence in enhancing economic cooperation to the poors. During his tenure then, our nearest island neighbour felt threaten and frightened with his cunning strategies and firmness. He was a man who dedicated and devoted himself to uphold the country especially Malays dignity by veering the Malays inferiority dogma that has been contemptuously regarded as a nation who even haven't ability to produce a needle to a nation which now not only manufactures its own national cars but more than that became a country with firm and strong fundamental of manufacturing and industrial capabilities. 10 or 15 years ago nobody could believe that now we can find a lot of Muslim Malays operating vehicle service centers whereas the job has been known to be monopolized by only one race before.

Today without him in action, Malaysia seems too much different and lost the tempo. We could hear a lot of talking everywhere regarding uncertainty and a slump of country economy. Some said Malaysia is no more an attractive notch for investment. Many companies, industrialist, investors and even native Malaysian businessmen shift their multi billion market capitalization to another new ports such as Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Viatname and no need to say certainly in the list are China and India. People are noting that current Malaysia has no clear direction to move forward. I reckon that it's unnecessarily for me to criticize current administration here as i believe all of you are cognisant well adequately of what's going on in the country. Say it in the perspective of economy woes, social problems, fragility of races unity, nation catastrophe; yet no appearance of the PM !!, some effort to sell off country strategic asset to outsiders, government administration, ineptness and slowness of producing results and actions. FULL STOP.

Tun Dr Mahathir, it is now then most of the industry players, corporate figures, businessmen regardless of what races and of course including my humble self are really realize..we miss you !!

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammed, i vehemently salute you as a capacity of Father of Modern Malaysia, the magnificent Salesman and CEO of Malaysia and of course as a Legacy of the country.

My Trivia of Tun Dr Mahathir
1. The first serious political book written in English which i had ever read was Malay Dilemma by Mahathir Mohammed or well known with his pen name as 'Che Det'.

2.When i was a small school kid, my father often combed my hair into the style of Dr Mahathir. I still remember every early in the morning when i tried to split my hair, he will come and give me a favour of how to do with my hair and said.." Now this is smarter...looks like Dr Mahathir's style."

3.Tun Dr Mahathir is among Malaysian leaders who i admire the way he conveys his speech either in Malay language or English. Text is unnecessary for him and he can give an awesome talk for hours where you'll never feel deadening of listening. Another one is Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Both of them are magnificent orator. Regretfully from a mentor and protege they ended as furious foe.
