We are fractured as a society, the majority Muslim-Malays are spiritually bankrupt and unsure of the future. And there hasn't seem to be any effort by his so far, two immediate successors to seriously attempt to get us out of this morass.

He surprises me of not being afraid of saying what he sees as right. Perhaps that's what a true leader should be. I love his country and I respect him for this honest memoir.

Sep 17, Suleiman rated it it was amazing. Mar 10, ZA rated it really liked it. An easy read, given the writer's penchant for short, direct sentences. The early years give an interesting glimpse into Malaya during Brit occupation, but of course the political tales are the most riveting. The man hardly keeps his views to himself so those who keep up with his speeches and blogposts won't find anything jarringly different, except for a few bits and pieces on politics perhaps.

The chapter on Anwar Ibrahim is contentious, but again it's a refresher to those who lived through An easy read, given the writer's penchant for short, direct sentences. The chapter on Anwar Ibrahim is contentious, but again it's a refresher to those who lived through rather than a fresh perspective.

Young Malaysians should read this book, as it also tells the tale of Malaya and Malaysia, from the still sharp mind of Malaysia's strongest and longest-in-power leader. Jul 29, Leow LeikHong rated it really liked it.

This indeed is a very thick book. Tun Dr. M is a remarkable man for our country Malaysia, serving as our PM for 22 years and he is now back again for his second term to save the country from the corrupted Barisan government.

Inside this book, Tun did not only shared about his politic career on how he transformed himself from a medical doctor into a politician and eventually became the Malaysia 4th Prime Minister. But he also shared about his childhood, his family, his view during the British col This indeed is a very thick book. But he also shared about his childhood, his family, his view during the British colony, the life in Malaysia during the Japanese occupancy, his view on the Islamic world and many other things.

Reading this book also help me understand better on Malaysia history and why we ended up in the situation we are in right now. But I think the most interesting parts of the book are about his political career on how he joined UMNO at the first place, and how later he was sacked by Tunku and were reinvited by Tun Razak and eventually become our PM and what follows after that. But what I really hope to read is the continuity of the following story, on how he decided to overthrow the BN government and become the PM again in I wish Tun is good health and have the follow-up version of the book in the near future.

Apr 27, Kataklicik rated it really liked it. Oh ye gawds, took me 3 weeks to finish this tome of a book! But - it was worth the read. Written in his trademark simple manner, this book is perhaps a little peek into the workings of Tun M's mind.

Would love for the book to be more expansive and if he would be more elaborate as regards the twists in his life! I have always been in awe, sir; and I still am. View 1 comment. Aug 30, Ditesh Gathani rated it it was ok Shelves: malaysiana , bibliography. It took me a full nine months to read through this biography. The reason for the long slog was not due to the quality of writing; Dr M writes well, states his point of view clearly and is to the point.

Neither was it lacking material; at over pages, Dr M covered many decades of his life. The book was a slog to read because it was lacked any inspiring long vision for the country. It lacked policy descriptions, it lacked substantive discussion around minorities, it was defensive and continually It took me a full nine months to read through this biography.

The book is very much like the man; it is articulate, frank and agenda driven, but it also bigoted, defensive and blinkered. It was a real struggle to finish the book, and when I reached the end, I was glad. Sep 05, Imamul Ariffin rated it it was amazing. As a Malaysian that grew up on a different land, I remember the name of Mahathir being constantly prompted in conversations of Malaysian politics between my South Indian father and his Bruneian Malay friends back when I was a young boy.

Also, when I occasionally returned back to my hometown in Alor Setar, Kedah coincidentally where Mahathir is also from during school holidays when I was younger, my relatives and people around me seemed to speak of his name with such reverence. I don't remember As a Malaysian that grew up on a different land, I remember the name of Mahathir being constantly prompted in conversations of Malaysian politics between my South Indian father and his Bruneian Malay friends back when I was a young boy.

I don't remember exactly what they said, but they would utter words that seem to imply that Mahathir is the man who had built so much of what the world would see now in its rapid advancement of modernisation in Malaysia. Along the way as I become older, unconsciously perhaps, or maybe because Mahathir and I come from the same place, I have looked up to the man as a symbol of pride for being the Malaysian that I am, just from the stories of this man in what he has contributed for the development of Malaysia like the existence of the Petronas Twin Towers with its lofty structure.

In pages where he speaks of the achievement of the economic growth that he had worked for and envisioned, I can't help but to admire the sheer dedication, and relentless passion that this man has willed to steer his beloved country out of the rubles of economic stuntedness.

On mainstream discourses among some Malaysians, the identification of this man with being an ultra Malay nationalist is quite prominent, but after reading about his early life story, I think it is unfair to frame Mahathir in such light without understanding the history and the environment, and the timeframe that this man was in. Environmental factors seemed to be overlooked, which definitely played a role that would instil this man a sense to harbour a moral mission to be the firebrand for the Malays and to uplift their debilitating communities and, to ultimately transform them from the culturally uncompetitive Malay, to the progressive modern and competent Malay that is capable in participating in the battles of global economic competition in the rapidly advancing industrial world.

Mahathir Mohamed had lived in the era of British-Malaya, and he had always had a keen curiosity and attentiveness ever since he was a young boy from the rural areas, where he and his family lived in Alor Setar, Kedah, to the outskirts of the towns, and he had constantly kept his eyes and mind on how the different races, especially on the Malays in how they would do economically, and on how the British were administering his country in general and his province in Kedah.

I genuinely believe that due to his lived experience of the struggles of himself and the communities in Kedah, especially the Kedahan Malays, who are the predominant people who was and is still residing there in the rural communities, and mostly suffering from the economic degradation, along with the abandonment and failure to protect the welfare of the people of Malaysia by the British colony during the Japanese invasion of Malaya, had prompted Mahathir to construct a worldview in which he was terribly and utterly disappointed with the British that would even manifest in his adulthood and as a prime minister for his dislike and criticism of the Westerners.

He himself expressed that he had always admired the strength, and the sense of heroism that the Westerners had embodied in western movies and comics, that he watched and read, only to find the people he looked up to abandoned him and his people when they needed their moral and political courage during the Japanese invasion of Malaya.

It is due to these experiences that had rigorously prompted his moral and political consciousness as a Malay and a Malaysian. Mahathir strongly resented the attitude of the Tunku to not look into and address the widening economic gap between the races that inevitably gave rise to the racial tensions. From what I can confer with what has been said that, with the worldview that Mahathir had constructed, and what he had seen himself as a boy to a teenager living in Kedah, I think it had profoundly moved him to wanting to transform the Malay community, and providing different ways to uplift them, and of course, to his eyes, this can only happen through economic means, even at the cost of neglecting other communities along with the controversial policies that he had enacted with the quota system.

Nevertheless, from reading his memoir, I will always have an outlook of deep respect for the man for the unimaginative heights of achievement in terms of economic and developmental prosperity in Malaysia, and his unconventional ways of taking drastic measures to mitigate a dire situation during the currency crises that affected Malaysia and brought it back on its able knees. However, there are some particular world views and sentiments that he has expressed that I may never agree with, such as his strong negative sentiments towards the west, and his constant criticism of the Malays, without really keeping the perspective of their rich history of culture and tradition, while enforcing them to adopt an economic and cultural worldview by looking the east like his obsession with Japan.

Of course not to mention the highly controversial story of his fallout with Anwar Ibrahim, that also ironically gave a fresh set of political consciousness for all Malaysians at the time, and not a page that I read from the chapter that I digested at face value, and are just filled blatant lies to frame that it has always been Anwar Ibrahim for fanning the fires of playing the role of the antagonist and that Mahathir never had a part of it that lead to the fall out.

This perhaps, is the other nature of Mahathir which he superbly tries to hide, which in a summary; a rather deflated and subtle unhealthy ego in himself. Even in his own words, he cringes or negatively dwells on the idea of a man being forgotten in history, or being put on shame by the public. I think he absolutely abhors the idea of having a bad name, even by the lightest of a negative word in the dictionary that can be framed on him.

In the end, man is very intricate and complicated, and should not only be seen only on one side of the fabric of himself, because that would be too simplistic for an understanding of a historical man.

But of course, never in history that a political and public figure like Mahathir Mohammad is to be put for scrutiny in lesser words, as for every action and words uttered will always be accounted for and analysed as they will always carry a symbolic weight that will always be pried by the public eyes.
