TUn Dr. Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
He's one of the respected leaders by world leaders.
He's outspoken towards U.States foreign policy, agains't injustice by Israels Palastine. He has been a great leader for 3rd world countries & he is still active in Global Peace ..
I think world leader envy him & the big countries leaders hate him for this stand..
He still involved in politics & his goal now is to bring peace to world community..

Sarah, i am with u 100% on that point. Good news is he is very much still active in criticising government policy. When he sees injustice and wrong decision made, he will not hesitate to voice out. I love that old man and what he has done for this country. He saved us all during the economic crisis by pegging the currency, refusing IMF loans. Unlike the current ones, he is smarter and he is not a show off's. During his seating in power, he never took any holiday leave. Our present one took leave a week after holding the post. And many more after. When Tun Mahathir was the prime minister, he took his job seriously. He spends his time reading non-stop for long hours skipping meals, only sipping warm water through out. Thank God nowadays he seems to start enjoying his retirement a little, eating every now and then. I wish him well. His contribution to this country is still greatly needed.

Oh, you mean Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.. He was a former Prime Minister of Malaysia and held the post from 1981 to 2003. During his term in office he was credited for engineering Malaysia's rapid modernization and the resulting growth of prosperity.
Another of Mahathir's central issues is promoting of "Asian values" in Malaysia.
In 2002, Mahathir announced his resignation to a surprised UMNO General Assembly. He was persuaded to stay on for a further eighteen months, in a carefully planned handover that ended in October 2003. On his retirement, he was granted Malaysia's highest honour, which entitles him to the title Tun from his original Datuk Seri.
Since retirement, he has been serving as an advisor to the Malaysian national oil company Petronas and the Malaysian national car company Proton, an original core national project initiated by Mahathir during his premiership. He is also the head of the Perdana Leadership Foundation, a foundation whose aim is to preserve, develop and spread materials regarding or written by previous Malaysian Prime Ministers. While he has retired from all political offices, he remains very outspoken regarding national policies.
On November 9 2006, he was admitted into Institut Jantung Negara (National Heart Institute) in Kuala Lumpur after suffering a mild heart attack.

Tan Sri Dato. Dr. Mahathir.
He's the one that bought us the dissing subject "Kemahiran Hidup"
When my mum found out I had learnt how to clean a "Tangki Simbah" or drain pipe, I was forced to clean the mossy, algae, slimy under-sink pipe.
Thanks so much, Mahathir!
