在20世纪最后25年的亚洲,马哈蒂尔是一个值得尊敬和记忆的名字。他倍受争议的22年任期,使他成为世界上当政时间最长的民选领导人。在西方人的视野里,他是半个独裁者。他直截了当的说话习惯,只有李光耀堪与媲美。其实,他是个理想的被漫画化了的人物。2002年6月22日马哈蒂尔在总统代表大会上宣布其辞职的打算时号啕大哭,他在2003年10月31日,正式辞去马来西亚执政党马来民族统一机构(巫统)主席职务,马哈蒂尔选择了与政治彻底分离。此刻,与卸下领袖光环的马哈蒂尔交谈,就像聆听睿智长者的谆谆教诲,又仿佛站在巨人肩膀上。
In Asia, the last 25 years of the 20th century, Mahathir was a name that deserved respect and memory. His controversial 22-year term gave him the longest elected leader in the world. In the Westerner’s perspective, he is half a dictator. His straightforward speaking habits, comparable to Lee Kuan Yew. In fact, he is an ideal cartoon character. On June 22, 2002, Mahathir burst into tears when he announced his intention to resign at the Presidential Congress. On October 31, 2003, he officially resigned as the chairman of the Malay National Unity Organization (UMNO), the ruling party in Malaysia, Hattie chose to be completely separated from politics. At this moment, talking to Mahathir, who has removed the leader’s aura, is like listening to the teachings of wise elders and standing on the shoulders of giants.
