Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad is a Malaysian politician, statesman, author and doctor who was the 4^th and 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia from July 1981 to October 2003 and again from May 2018 to March 2020. He was the 4^th Deputy Prime Minister and in many other Cabinet positions before his promotion to the premiership in July 1981 and was as a Member of Parliament from 1964 on. His political career has spanned more than 70 years.

Political Career

During Mahathir's first tenure as prime minister, Malaysia experienced a period of rapid modernization 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 UMNO's leadership. However, his power accumulation came at the expense of judicial independence and Malaysia's royalty's traditional powers and privileges. He used the controversial Internal Security Act to detain activists, non-mainstream religious figures, and political opponents, including the deputy prime minister whom he fired in 1998, Anwar Ibrahim. Mahathir's record of curbing civil liberties and his antagonism towards Western interests and economic policy made his relationships with Western nations difficult.
