Mahathir s/o Iskandar Kutty a.k.a Mahathir bin Mohamed

TUN DR MAHATHIR'S HOMETOWN (KERALA)

Mahathir's forefathers are from South India in Kerala state. Mahathir was born and named as Mahathir s/o Iskandar Kutty @Mahathir Mohamed. Mahathir's father, (Iskandar Kutty) was a school teacher of Indian origin, specifically Malayalam (people in South India, Kerala state), having migrated from the southern state of Kerala.

He is the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia which he held for 22 years. From 1981 to 2003, he is the country's longest serving Prime Minister as well as in the whole of Asia. Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad started life not as Malay but as Malayali -the people of Kerala in south India, where his father came from. When he was studying in a university in Singapore, Mahathir was listed as an indian.

Mahathir is full of paradoxes on racial issues. Many of his policies have had the effect of reducing the racial element in government decisions, watering down the agenda to advance malay interests. But in fact he failed to protect and maintain the immunity of Malay rulers. Yet, despite his trumpeting of Asian identity, Mahathir appears ashamed to admit his Indian heritage.

In his new book, A New Deal for Asia, he writes about his father in such a way as to imply that he was Malay dedicated to the improvement of his fellow Malays rather than the hard-working Indian immigrant and government servant that he was. He forgotten his root as well.

Hi everybody,

Maybe some of us never realise what r happening in our nation, lately..
So, here our friend has written down some news for us to do realise on Malaysian people.
We r living in democratic constituency but we can see the issues which are really to feel shame on ourselves..
The main issue for todays headline is Racial issue..
I don't understand why such things can be occurred in our united nation..
Who is to be blamed on this matter??
PLEASE THINK ON THAT!!
We must think towards nation's development and not to 'bankrupt' it.
So, my opinion is Today's youngsters are Tomorrow's Leader..
Always think positive and follow our religion's says..

Mr MALAYSIAN,

Yes, and you wonder why one is so ashamed of acknowledging his Indian roots and glorifying another. Hypocrite he is at times.
