THE PERSON WHOM I ADMIRE

The purpose of writing this composition is to describe about the person whom I admire. The person whom I admire most is our former Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad. He has inspired me a lot in many ways. I believe that I am not the only person who admires him, there might also be others who admire him. In my opinion, Tun or familiarly known as “Dr. M” is a very special and unique man. He seems to be so perfect and as a leader, I considered him a leader with a complete package. He is smart, intellectual, and accountable, determined, dedicated, and possesses many other positives attitudes. Dr. Mahathir did not study law or any course related to politics before. In fact, he studied medicine in Singapore. He had sacrificed his ambition as a doctor once he decided to join United Malay National Organization (UMNO). He joined UMNO through an invitation by Tun Abdul Razak. Even though, he had no experience in politics and was being involved into UMNO at the very young age, he never tended to give up. This has shown his spirit towards the party. He is said to be determined as he always try to improve the Malaysian economics, for example by developing industrial sector. He had contributed a lot of things to Malaysia and I considered the most valuable contribution made by him could be at the time when Malaysia faced an economic crisis due to inflation time in 1997. He managed to control the situation and did not borrow loan from International Monetary Fund as many other countries did. He has been as a Prime Minister’s position for 22 years.In conclusion, all efforts and contributions made by him have impressed and inspired me a lot. Even though, I cannot transform all his positive attitudes, at least I can absorb a few of them and practices it my life.
