The leader that I mentioned about is Tun Dr Mahathir. He is a Malaysian politician who was the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1981 to 2003, making him longest-serving holder of that office. His political career has spanned more than 70 years since he first joined a newly formed UMNO in 1946. During Mahathir's tenure as Prime Minister, Malaysia experienced a period of rapid modernisation and economic growth, and his government initiated a series of bold infrastructure projects. Mahathir was a dominant political figure, winning five consecutive general elections and fending off a series of rivals for the leadership of UMNO.

One of the most notable infrastructure projects at the time was the construction of the North-South Expressway, a motorway running from the Thai border to Singapore; the contract to construct the expressway was awarded to a business venture of UMNO. Mahathir also oversaw the establishment of the car manufacturer Proton as a joint venture between the Malaysian government and Mitsubishi. By the end of the 1980s, Proton had overcome poor demand and losses to become, with the support of protective tariffs, the largest car maker in Southeast Asia and a profitable enterprise.

Among some developing and Islamic countries, Mahathir is generally respected, particularly for Malaysia's relatively high economic growth as well as for his support towards liberal Muslim values. Leaders such as Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev, praised him and have been trying to emulate Mahathir's developmental formulae. He was one of the greatest spokesmen on the issues of developing world and strongly supported the bridging of the North-South devide, as well as exhorting the development of Islamic nations.

All of his contributions to Malaysia make me interested with him as a leader of this country long time ago. As what we achieved nowadays is from his efforts to make Malaysia at the same level with another modern countries. With that I am very thankful that I was born to be as a Malaysia. Thank you Tun.
