My Inspiration

Everyone have their own direction to be a successful person. Likes me, I am also want to be a success woman. If can, I want to be such as my idol, he is Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad. With to be is a successful man, I took him as my inspiration Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad was born in Alor Star, Kedah on10 July 1925 and was Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1981 to 2003.He trained as a Doctor at the King Edward V11 Medical College in Singapore. During his term in office, he was credited for engineering Malaysia’s rapid modernization and the resulting high levels of prosperity now enjoyed by nearly all Malaysians. Mahathir also was able to maintain peace between the various races in Malaysia, and this is regarded by many as his greatest achievement.

During his term in office, Mahathir forcefully tried to turn Malaysia into high-tech manufacturing, financial, and telecommunication through his economic policies based on corporate nationalism. These policies remained in effect to the end of his tenure in office. Besides, his project have included Perwaja Steel, Proton car company and Astro, a satellite television service. In other hand, during this period, Mahathir embarked on various enormous construction project, such as the North-South highway, which has cut transport time in half on the West Coast of Malaysia, the Multimedia Super Corridor, a flagship project based Silicon Valley designed. Not more than, the buildings which have become symbolic of modern Malaysia, the Petronas Twin Towers, the tallest buildings in the world from 1997 to 2003.

Mahathir remained tremendously popular among many Malaysians. He was known for a being a man of few words, a mature speaker and also his largely successful policies in steering Malaysia towards economic growth. He was one of the greatest spokesmen on third world issues and strongly supported, He was dedicated to various third world blocs such as Asean, the G77, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Organisation of Islamic Nations and most recently, the latest WTO talks at Cancun. In 2002, a tearful Mahathir announced his resignation to a surprised UMNO General Assembly. He was persuaded to stay on for a further eighteen months, in careful planned handover that ended in October 2003.Shortly before living office, Mahathir sparked off a fierce controversy when he called on Muslim leaders at the 57-member Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) summit to ‘fight back against their Jewish oppressors’ who ‘ruled the world by proxy.

Largely due to the economic development of the country, which by and large has benefited races, Mahathir left behind a peaceful, prosperous and self confident, for which he has been granted the soubriquet as Father of Modernisation. Mahathir remain an inspiration to the younger Malaysian generation due to his leadership abilities and his no nonsenses demeanour.
