The Malaysian leader whom I admire most is Tun Dr. Mahathir .He was a leader who dares to speak up his mind and was not intimidated by the world .He ran the country with wisdom and vision.
When he first took over as Prime Minister of the country ,he proposed the "Look East" policy to motivate all Malaysians to look beyond the boundaries of the country .He encouraged the people to learn from the Japanese and the Koreans. He wanted the people to learn the right attitude from the Japanese and Koreans and see how they had progressed and risen to be great economic powers in the world despite the ruins of wars. He ensured greater productivity and efficiency by the government sector to serve the public better.
His proposal of Vision 2020 was to motivate the peple to work towards becoming a developed nation. Many projects and plans have been or are presently being carried out to steer the country towards achieving the status by 2020.
Tun Dr. Mahathir also proposed the Multimedia Super Corridor with the vision of making Malaysia a great Information Technology (IT) centre of the world. His great vision and efforts to push Malaysia to be a developed nation and an IT country in the 21st century is undeniable. The people have since progressed and benefited greatly from his vision.
Tun Dr. Mahathir was a great leader. He had shown his love for his country by the way he ran the country and unite the people.
