TRIBUTE TO OUR HERO!!

raise your hand if you don't know who is the man inside that picture!!!
i'm sure all of us know who is that...TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD..our forth prime minister and probably the greatest among the great prime minister that Malaysia had since the early 1957..

yeah maybe all know what he have done when he become a prime minister of Malaysia, even people at north pole know what he have achieve at his time.. but do you really know who is he long before that??? 

yup..most of us just know Tun Dr M as our prime minister but when be ask about him before he become a politician..most of us will said..ha???common answer rite..

k..so now i will tell a little bit of him before he become a politician.he was born at his parents' home in a poor neigbourhood of Alor Setar, Kedah  on 20 December 1925. Tun Dr. Mahathir did his early and secondary education in his home town. In 1947, he gained admission into the King Edward VII College of Medicine in Singapore and graduated at 1953.

then he opened a private clinic at Kedah with name MAHA CLINIC and i believe this clinic is still open for public to get treatment but of course not Tun is in there waiting for you..hehe...this clinic was become very famous among people at Kedah because of the generousity of Tun..he charged patient differently followed by the patient's background..such as, if the patient come from a poor n hard family sometimes he will give a free treatment to them..andd sometimes he will go to the village that far from town to give them a proper treatment because we know at that time, the villagers are hard to get the proper treatment at town because they did not have transport n also poor..huhu..


Tun has been active in politics since 1945. He has been a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) since its inception in 1946.He was first elected as a Member of Parliament following the General Elections in 1964. However, he lost his seat in the subsequent General Election in 1969. Owing to his keen interest in the country's education, he was appointed Chairman of the first Higher Education Council in 1968, Member of the Higher Education Advisory Council in 1972, Member of the University Court and University of Malaya Council, and Chairman of the National University Council in 1974 and bla3 more in politic arena until he was appointed as the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia on 16 July 1981 and stepped down as Prime Minister on October 31st 2003.
and i think i didn't hv to tell what he have done as a prime minister of Malaysia because we all grown up in his time..all we know today is because of him..and i can say that we are the Tun Dr Mahathir generation and i proud of it..maybe some of us will said that they hate Tun but that is their own opinion rite...for who are agreed with me..together we read this poem and think about it..this poem was written by Tun because he really2 love all of us...
