Answers
Answer:
If we ask ourselves as to how many leaders or politicians in this world have managed to become prime minister of a country at the age of 91 again after serving in the same capacity as a prime minister for about 22 years in the past? Well, the answer is, probably only one.
His name is Dr. Mahathir Mohammad, the sitting prime minister of Malaysia, who has made it almost a habit to defeat his political opponent at ease. Otherwise, how possibly an old person of his age can make such a strong comeback in politics after remaining politically inactive, apart from criticizing his successor every once in a while, for almost 15 years! What’s the secret behind such an enviable accomplishment?
Well, there could be many reasons, one could possibly guess for that, but one thing, for sure, is certain that he is from a completely different breed of politicians who is able to show his guts and grits in the face of extreme adversity unlike anybody else. In fact, very few leaders in this world have managed to remain calm and lead on to transform a third world country into a role model of economic success for all the countries around the world. Besides, as a politician of simple nature, who always likes to put the interest of his people ahead of everything else, one of the most appealing things about this great political leader is that he is never afraid to voice out his opposition to all kinds of oppression.
Anyway, I admire this person because of his visionary leadership and statesmanship who completely changed the face of Malaysia from a third world country to a regional economic powerhouse within just 22 years. Some people may passionately call him a “benevolent dictator”, but his intention to listen to his people carefully certainly makes a very admirable person, not only among his own people but also to people from the rest of the world. Finally, I admire him also because he never likes to give up in achieving his dream for his nation.
