Mahathir Mohamad is a prominent Malaysian politician, author, and doctor who served as the fourth and seventh Prime Minister of Malaysia for a total of 24 years. Before his prime ministership, he held various cabinet positions and played a key role in overseeing the country’s modernization and economic growth through initiatives like industry privatization and infrastructure projects. Mahathir is known for centralizing power and implementing policies that favored the bumiputera community. However, his leadership style faced criticism for authoritarian actions such as detaining activists and arresting his deputy. Over the years, Mahathir has shifted his political views, focusing on Malay nationalism, Islamic beliefs, and promoting Asian values.
