Who was the former president of Malaysia?

Mahathir was born on 1925, 1925 in a teacher's family in Yaros, the capital of Kedah. Mahathir's grandfather was a Muslim who crossed the sea from India. This blood source can be clearly reflected in Mahathir's very Indian face. My father became a prestigious middle school principal after marrying a local Malay girl. As an Indian immigrant family with a low status and a small number in a multi-ethnic Malaysian society, his father very much hopes that his first son, born at the age of 40, can honor his ancestors and win a sigh of relief for Indian immigrants. Mahathir lived up to his family's expectations. He has been extremely clever since he was a child and likes reading very much. He often stays in the study for a long time alone with a book.

Little Mahathir is very stubborn. Although he is often taciturn, he is very opinionated about everything. After entering middle school with excellent grades, the emaciated Mahathir was often bullied by senior students. His mother saw him coming home with a black face several times, but she couldn't get a word out of him. Without saying a word, I went into the study to study. Perhaps it is driven by a strong sense of mission, or perhaps it is a premonition that there are not many learning opportunities in the future. Young Mahathir is simply studying hard.

I once owned a coffee shop. Because he learned to manage and was born smart, he soon opened a fruit shop and a handicraft shop, and his business grew bigger and bigger. He has all the qualities necessary for a successful businessman: diligence, shrewdness, determination and perseverance.

However, the young Mahathir did not put all his energy into doing business. He always pays attention to what happens in his motherland. He participated in the activities of some anti-Japanese mass organizations at that time, such as "federated malay states" and "Malay Youth Federation", and became an activist among them. After the Japanese surrender, the British colonists made a comeback, and the tasks of organizations such as federated malay states changed into anti-British independence historically. Prince Rahman, the "father of Malaysia", united these organizations and made them a political party, named UMNO. It played an important leading role in Malaysia's independence. At this moment, Mahathir met Razak, one of the key members of this organization and later served as Malaysian Prime Minister, who helped Mahathir at a critical moment in the future.

The "Malay National Union" and its clear anti-British independence goal greatly angered the colonial authorities, which stepped up the suppression and rule of Malays. Young Mahathir is in deep trouble. At this moment, 1948, the University of Malaya began to enroll students. Mahathir signed up for reference and did not hesitate to fill in the medical department on the volunteer form. As a result, he was admitted. This year, he was 23 years old. After graduation, Mahathir became a medical official in Kedah. 1964, he decided to formally give up medicine and go into politics, became a member of the UMNO Supreme Council, and participated in the parliamentary election that year. He succeeded. A member of parliament once commented on him: "His sharpness has made countless people crazy to support him and countless people crazy to oppose him. But one thing is certain, no one will be indifferent to him. " From then on, Mahathir was considered to have a bright political future. 1975, becoming one of the three vice-chairmen of UMNO. 1981July became the chairman of UMNO, replacing Houthi armed forces who resigned due to illness and became the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

He served as Prime Minister for three consecutive times, and correspondingly, in recent years, the situation in Malaysia has indeed become more and more stable, which is unmatched by neighboring countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines. At the same time, Malaysia's economy is developing rapidly, and it has the potential to catch up with the four little dragons in Asia.

Mahathir is a very resourceful prime minister. Not only did he have many ingenious ideas on major policies, such as developing a "free trade zone" to attract foreign investment, developing manufacturing industries to expand exports, lifting excessive restrictions on China's economy, and implementing a policy of "looking east" to encourage domestic enterprises to learn advanced technology and management experience from the East, especially Japan and South Korea, but he also took advantage of every opportunity to visit China to automatically act as "the country's number one commodity salesman". Moreover, subtleties often have flashes of inspiration. These may be due to his past occupations: business and medicine. He lacks neither the shrewdness of a businessman nor the carefulness of a surgeon. Looking at Mahathir's impressive achievements since he came to power 10, he is the longest-serving Malaysian Prime Minister after the war, and his personal charm and fighter style have also added a strange luster to this "kingdom of rubber and tin".
