Mahathir Mohammed: A follow-up statesman
Story is not a story or a movie! Absolutely real. He came and saw and conquered. With the end of all speculation, legendary leader, modern Malaysian architect, Mr. Mahathir Mohammad, has been sworn in as the world's oldest elected Prime Minister by proving the so-called prediction wrong. This is undoubtedly surprising! Even more interesting than that. At the age of 92, why would he suddenly return to politics? He had been in power for a maximum of 22 years in history of the island nation of Southeast Asia. Retirement in 2003 After 15 years of retirement, long after the politics came back to the stage, green-green is great.
For many reasons, the center of discussion was at the center of the recent elections in Malaysia, especially Mahathir Mohammad. Let's look back a little bit. After the independence from the British colonies in 1957, the country has been running for the last 61 years, the Barisan Nasiñal (BN) political alliance In 1969, three major political parties: the United Malaias National Organization (UMOO); The alliance formed the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) and Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC). Later, regional and national political parties joined this alliance. Mahathir Mohammed's political career, the rise and power of ascendancy - everything is achieved due to the UMO, one of the biggest parties in this influential alliance. It is said that an integral part of his life was UMNO or BNP. By ending the long-term relationship of nearly seventy-two years, he contested the election against this political alliance and ousted him! Many hair-raising analyzes have resulted in the results of this election. The ruling prime minister Najib Razak was charged with widespread corruption. Nevertheless, there was no doubt about BNP's victory. Although opposition alliance Pakatan Harpana was able to integrate their position in the 2013 election. In spite of getting more popular votes in the election, they were left in opposition camp due to electoral constituency. It's nothing more than a win-win win because of all the overwhelming results - Mahathir Magic!
Mahathir Mohammed's colorful political career started with the joining the movement to liberate motherland from the colonial rule. In 1964, he was elected MP for the first time in a UMO ticket. Mahathir criticized the ruling government for failing to deal with ethnic riots in 1969. As a result, his relationship with former Chief Minister Toukan Abdur Rahman deteriorated, and at one stage he was expelled from the party.
To protect the rights of the majority of ethnic Malays, he was always uprooted. In the economic direction, the Malays were far behind from the minority ethnic group. He wrote his famous book, "The Malay Dilema", with the way out of the deprivation and deprivation of the backward people. After the book was published in the 1970s, the situation began to change. The pressure is on the leadership to bring Mahathir back to the team. The then Prime Minister Tunku Abdur Rahman resigned in the same year. Abdul Razak Hussein took charge of the Prime Minister. Within a few days, Hussein brought Mahathir back to the party. Then the charismatic leader did not look back. In 1974, he was again elected a member of parliament. In that year, Education Minister was given the responsibility. In 1976, Mahathir was appointed by the Deputy Prime Minister's seat. In June 1981 he was elected president of the UMNO and was elected a month after his election as the Malaysian Prime Minister.
Malaysia achieves enormous progress in the economy by giving Mahathir's remarkable visionary leadership qualities. From the beginning of the decade of the decade to the mid-nineties, the economic growth rate of the country was about 9%! Per capita GDP in 1980 was $ 1769, and in 2003 it rose to $ 4464! The country becomes an industrialized country quickly from the agrarian economy. Today, Malaysia is one of the world's leading exporters in semiconductors, electrical products, solar panels, information technology, etc.
