But today the Jews rule this world by proxy.|Mahathir Mohamad}} '''Tun Pehin Sri Datuk Seri Utama Dr. Mahathir Mohamad''' (born '''Mahathir bin Mohamad''' or '''Mahathir a/l Iskandar Kutty'''; July 10<sup>th</sup>, 1925 - ) is a Malaysian politician, statesman and physician who served as the prime minister of Malaysia from 1981 to 2003 (succeeding Hussein Onn and preceding Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) and from 10 May 2018 to 1 March 2020 (succeeding [[Najib Razak]] and preceding [[Muhyiddin Yassin]]). He is a member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Langkawi constituency in the state of Kedah. Mahathir's political career has spanned more than 70 years starting with his participation in protests against non-Malays gaining Malaysian citizenship during the Malayan Union through to forming his own party, the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (PPBM), in 2016. Mahathir was a dominant political figure in Malaysia, winning five consecutive general elections and fending off a series of rivals for the leadership of UMNO and one with PPBM. However, his accumulation of power came at the expense of the independence of the judiciary and the traditional powers and privileges of Malaysia's royalty. == Biography == Mahathir Mohamad was born in Alor Setar, Malaya in 1925, and he studied medicine and opened a practice. A member of UMNO, he became an MP in 1964 until its suspension in 1969. He was expelled from the party because of his outspoken hostility to Tunku Abdul Rahman's policy of compromise between the Malays, Chinese, and Indians of the population, advocating the predominance of the Malays instead. Readmitted as a sign of UMNO's reversal from Tunku Abdul Rahman's ideals, he became Minister of Education in 1974, and Deputy Prime Minister in 1976. In 1981, he became Prime Minister, and, as a populist nationalist, he was again confirmed in office on 25 April 1995, when his UMNO-dominated Barisan Nasional coalition received a record two-thirds majority. He left office in 2003, and he would go on to criticize his hand-picked successors Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Najib Razak. In 2016 he left UMNO to dissociate himself from Prime Minister Najib Razak, who was involved in a corruption scandal. In 2018, at age 92, he staged an extraordinary comeback, joining the opposition Alliance of Hope and successfully challenging Najib in elections, ousting the UMNO-led National Front for the first time since independence and becoming the world's oldest elected leader. He promised to serve only for two years, after which he might be succeeded by former rival Anwar Ibrahim, whom he had jailed in 1998 and for whom he now obtained a pardon. He became Malaysia's first Prime Minister not to represent the Barisan Nasional coalition. However, he was resigned as the prime minister on [[2020 Malaysian political crisis]]. == Act of Villainy & Controversies == * Openly criticized and sending [http://anwarite.tripod.com/mahathir_1969_open_letter.htm a letter] to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunku_Abdul_Rahman Tunku Abdul Rahman] in which the prime minister was criticized for failing to uphold Malay interests.
