Former Malaysian Prime Minister, Mr. Mahathir Mohammad, born in December 20, 1925 in Alon city of Qadah state in the northern of Malaysia, he is the ninth son of a Muslim family from the "Malays" which is the majority in Malaysian tribes, and also one the communities of the poorest and most backward in this country. Mr. Mahathir received his pre-university education at Sultan AbdullHameed School in Alon and then he entered King Edward VII Medical College in Singapore and then he got married from his colleague Sitti Hasnah. He returns to practice the medicine at his hometown and at the first clinic taking place in his hometown, he started his political action at an early age in the student unions and youth, but he was busy in his work knowing that the treatment of human disease necessitates treatment of diseases of the political and social surroundings. The political journey of Mahathir started after he was elected as a member of the parliament in 1964. He was a strong defender of his own tribe the "Malay" at the parliament in which his views were respected and has become more famous. He was accused of being extremism by the government of tunku AbdulRahman and he lost the election in the 1969 against the Islamic party candidate then he was dismissed from the "Amno" party as a result of criticism of the government. This action has doubled his popularity as he returned to the parliament in 1974, then he was appointed as a minister of education and his policy has produced a result in a clear way elevating of teaching the poor layer and more in his country.

And Mahathir Mohammad a successful political and a great thinker, Many of his compositions that spots a lot of light on the problems of thoughts which is the result of clashes that have arisen in recent decades, including the dilemma of Malay and the challenge and Voice of Asia and the challenges of the disorder, in addition to many lectures and seminars provided. In his book, Globalization and the new reality, the Malaysian experience model touched the vision of Mahathir Mohammad, because the big players in the new world system is just apply the rules of the game for their own interests and are not satisfied to deny developing countries from the benefits, but are causing the losses. Mahathir Mohammad has sent many of the early warnings about the dangers and disadvantages of globalization, Malaysia is the only country faced by the economic crisis in the period 1997/1999 by adopting the policy of bold and unconventional to face the financial speculation in the stock market and to save the Malaysian economy from collapse.
