  • The Most Unforgettable Character Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad A:Let Us Talk
    The most unforgettable character Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad A:Let us talk about the most unforgettable character in Malaysia. B:Who do you think qualify for this title? C:He must be Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who was the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia. D:You are right. Having served the country from 1981 until 2003, he had made many contributions to the country. A:Let me give you some history about him. He was born in Alor Setar, Kedah on 22 December, 1925. Mahathir was a hard-working school student. C:I read that discipline imposed by his father motivated him to study, and he showed little interest in sports. He won a position in a selective English medium secondary school, having become fluent in English well ahead of his primary school peers. B:I can add to that. After receiving his early education at Seberang Perai Malay School, he continued his education at the Government English School which later became the Sultan Abdul Hamid College in Alor Setar. D:You will not believe this. With schools closed during the Japanese occupation of Malaya in World War II, he went into small business, first selling coffee and later pisang goreng(banana fritters) and other snacks. C:I certainly cannot imagine that. In 1947, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad left for Singapore to read medicine at King Edward VII Medical College. He obtained his medical degree in 1953. A: In college he met his future wife, Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, a fellow medical student. After Mahathir graduated, he worked as a doctor in government service before marrying Siti Hasmah in 1956 and returning to Alor Setar the following year to set up his own practice.

There are glaring differences in perspectives on the sources of the Malay problem; however, the debate on the Malay problem has tended to attribute the source of "Malay weakness" to Malay culture or personality. As a consequence, there is a huge gap in the literature on the politics of the Singapore Malays; this thesis will focus on the political aspects of the Singapore Malay community. Whereas the administration views Malay cultural values as an obstruction to the acculturation of the Singapore Malays with "modem" functional values which encourage the acquisitive spirit and subsequently, the aspiration for economic success, the Malays argue that the problems afflicting the community extends into the political sphere. For the Malays, ) political issues are as significant and pressing as are the non-political aspects of their relative / " social, economic, and political weakness.
