ADUN SPEAKS | Daughter's narrative won't exonerate Mahathir's leadership

[superadmin]

ADUN SPEAKS | I never really thought that the former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohammed’s daughter Marina Mahathir would write a book about him.

I really don’t know what the objective is for the book that may soon be officially launched. However, the excerpts suggest that the narrative seem to exonerate Mahathir as a family man and a leader with vision but who was betrayed.

I can understand Marina’s love for her father, Mahathir, and her family. Since her father is no more in power, maybe she decided to put a family touch on the difficulties that Mahathir underwent as the prime minister, the stress he had to put up with and the toll on his heart that eventuated in a surgery.

Mahathir comes off as a loving father, a strict disciplinarian and a person who would brook no nonsense.
