Nay Soe Htet - Mahathir Mohamad

There has been a notable emergence in global politics and the ASEAN political community recently.

Not another.

It is about the Malaysian election news and a man who, despite his age, is brave enough to compete against the younger generation and emerge victorious.

To be more precise, it is “Mahathir Mohamad” and the Malaysian election news. Mahathir Mohamad is now over 90 years old, turning 92.

I am old and stressed.

However, this old man, Mahathir, has managed to win the election by simply giving the young people who claim to be progressive and modern a thumbs up.

Mahathir also celebrated his victory by shouting, "I'm not dead yet."

The idea is to proclaim that Mahathir, despite his old age, can still work for the country and the people. "Young people may think that I am old and incapable, but I have the spirit and desire to develop the country with true sincerity. These are the motivations. I should do whatever I can for the country and the people, and I will do whatever I can," he said.

In fact, a successful person's life requires dedication, a clear vision, and a strong sense of patriotism.

Mahathir was a man of true devotion, true vision, and a strong sense of patriotism.

Mahathir is sincere, has a clear vision, and is patriotic.

This is what really pushed Mahathir onto the path of success, isn't it?

As I was thinking about Mahathi, I was suddenly reminded of another king from Burmese history.

The king of the corpse.

Once, seeing King Alaungsithu limping, some nobles said that he was old.

It means that because you are old, your ability has decreased. When the king heard this, he thought, "I should show that I am not old yet."

“Oh... my fellow kings, I hear that a man with a black horse and a black beard is threatening my country. You must suppress him.”

"The king said to his fellow kings. The fellow kings had left Nay Pyi Taw to suppress the Black Horse. At the same time, Alaung Si Thu Min also thought that it was time to show that he was not inferior to me, and so he confronted his fellow kings.

You guys can't compete.

Therefore, the king spoke about it in the assembly. He exclaimed, "I am not old yet." Similarly, the king said to his fellow kings,

"Age is just a numerical measurement, and a person's ability and mental strength cannot be compared to age," he explained.

Now, with the election results, Mahathir has been able to show the people the truth, clarity, and sincerity of his vision.

"I am a man of great age, great strength,

"I may be able to compete with them, but in terms of clarity of vision, determination, and patriotism, they cannot match me," he said. "Given my age, I may not be able to serve my full term. But I will not reduce my clarity of vision and efficiency in doing what I can. I will fulfill my responsibilities. I will always keep my eyes open to pave the way for those who know their responsibilities, and I am ready to give my place to those who deserve it."

He said.

In fact, Mahathir is also the identity of Malaysia. Malaysia and Mahathir cannot be separated.

Speaking of which, Mahathir is Malaysia's longest-serving prime minister.

'He didn't lose the election and leave politics.

Mahathir, who gave birth to Malaysia as an Asian tiger,

He also opened a new chapter for the East. “I am a doctor, and I have won a lot of love from people by saving lives. I am a doctor and I did not practice medicine, but I went into politics because I wanted to improve the social life of the people, and I wanted to improve the life of Malaysia and its people,” he always said. He retired from politics after contributing to Malaysia’s global stature.

However, when Malaysian politicians' political gamesmanship went awry, he re-entered the political world as an opposition figure.

"He competed against the ruling party and won. He is old but not broken. He is a clear-sighted and sincere person, but given his age, he is a stubborn person, a mountain-climbing force, and a weak-willed person. In any case, he is a real person and sincere."

Therefore, even though I am not strong, I believe that I will do whatever I can for the country.

A person who was beautiful because he knew life.

If we carefully examine the human world, we will find that everyone who knows human life and human beauty has something different from ordinary people.

Looking back on Mahathir's life, Mahathir was a man who knew life, humanity, and beauty.

He is a person who prioritizes the greater good over the ego. He values ​​the benefit of a hundred or a thousand over the benefit of one person.

And you will see that Mahathir and others see the world differently.

“People look at everything superficially. They don’t think about it seriously. If something happens, they say it’s the system. It’s wrong,” Mahathir said. “The system is not a matter of pointing fingers, there is a cause and effect in everything,” he said. “I want Malaysia to develop. I want it to be a global power. It’s not without reason that this mentality has developed.”

That's right. Mahathir was not born and raised in a single day. He has experienced war and a life of poverty.

"Experience adds color. Without thought, vision, and experience, one can never have a clear worldview." "In other words, experience is a force in life. This force needs to be examined and colored," he said.

Mahathir is truly a seeker of experience, always trying to analyze and critique it and to polish it.

"A leader needs to be a leader, not a follower. And you have to compare your every experience with the experiences of your people. You have to try not to let the people feel your bitter feelings," he said.

Indeed, Mahathir was a man who had suffered greatly under British rule. He knew the consequences of divide and rule.

“At that time, the Malaysian people lived under British rule with great hardships, and the people had never experienced such a situation or such a feeling,” he said. “In fact, the tiger that has ever eaten meat in the world only wants to eat meat, and he observes the fast for the sake of words.”

"The tiger is there, it is not outside. Similarly, the imperialist capitalists, who know the results of imperialism and the taste of profiteering, will continue to try to enjoy this taste. Instead of trying, only the appearance of trying will be different."

Mahathir, as someone who has experienced it firsthand, knows about them, is an observer, and is trying to lead, so he knows their steps. That's why he spoke out clearly.

"Malaysia must not be submerged under the illusion of the West, Malaysia must be able to triumph with the strength of the Malaysian people."
