MATERIAL TYPE : BOOK
AQUISITION NO. : 6037
Dr Mahathir Mohamad-Malaysia's fourth and current Prime Minister-is
renowned for his original ideas and incisive plain speaking. Both
traits are grippingly evident in his style of government and
leadership. His life has been as colourful as his performance on the
political stage. Mahathir spent much of his life as a trailblazer; as
young member of Parliament, he was outstanding. In public policy,
Mahathir's hallmark has been his tenacity to his goals, a
characteristic epitomized by his straightforwardness and aplomb in
exploding fallacies and exposing the distortions concerning the
Islamic religion, communism, freedom of the press and corruption.
Mahathir Mohamad has gone through many upheavals and crises yet
surviving each and every one of them. His premiership has confounded
both his critics and supporters. How did he meet the challenges of
being the Prime Minister of Malaysia? What were his objectives and
strategies, and more importantly, what impact has he had on the
office, the Government, the economy, and the policies of Malaysia? The
21st century will see a new and developed Malaysia and Mahathir will
be remembered of his effort in making this vision a reality.
