Tun Dr.Mahathir bin Mohamad (; born 10 July 1925) (Jawi:محتير بن محمد) was the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia. He held the post for 22 years from 1981 to 2003, making him Malaysia's longest-serving Prime Minister, and one of the longest-serving leaders in Asia. Mahathir's political career spanned almost 40 years, from his election as a Malaysian federal Member of Parliament in 1964, until his resignation as Prime Minister in 2003.
As Prime Minister, he was credited with engineering Malaysia's rapid modernisation. During his term in office, he was considered by some as one of Asia's most influential leaders. Mahathir was also widely known as an outspoken critic of Western-style globalization.
