Why would his most trusted ally,<BR/>a man he created politically, turn on him? Why would the West vilify<BR/>him after he used free markets to build one of the world's<BR/>fastest-growing economies? Why would journalists brand him a dictator<BR/>and anti-Semite when his record is nothing of the sort? Why would<BR/>radical Muslims call for his assassination when he is a faithful<BR/>Muslim?<BR/><BR/>Mahathir, 73, who is as blunt as he is combative, has never ducked a<BR/>fight or hidden behind a "no comment," and in a recent interview, he<BR/>had explanations on each count. They reflected his anger and sense of<BR/>betrayal: He created the very model of the capitalistic nation that<BR/>the West encourages in Southeast Asia, only to see 40 years of<BR/>economic progress undone, he says, by Malaysia's enemies in the West.<BR/><BR/>On foreign journalists: "Yes, I think they deliberately lie.They don't<BR/>like the way I talk back to them when they are wrong. They live on the<BR/>misery of others. They live on creating misery for others. They live<BR/>on telling lies about others." <BR/><BR/>On the West: "The West is constantly running us down, saying we as<BR/>Asians can't set up a good government, that we must be corrupt and all<BR/>that. I would like to point out the West is no less corrupt, and maybe<BR/>more corrupt. So don't be racist and make out as if Asians are corrupt<BR/>[and] Europeans are not."<BR/><BR/>On anti-Mahathir demonstrations in the streets: "If you look carefully<BR/>at that picture [on a recent magazine cover] you will find that these<BR/>so-called reformists are people who wear torn clothing, you know, the<BR/>kind of hippie people who are beer drinkers, with Budweiser on their<BR/>shirts. I don't know if it's true, but these people claim they<BR/><BR/>were paid to demonstrate."<BR/><BR/>On former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the erstwhile ally who<BR/>was ultimately sacked, arrested, beaten in jail by the police chief<BR/>and, finally, convicted on corruption charges: "He tried to overthrow<BR/>me. He's the one who turned the issue into a political problem. The<BR/>fact is he couldn't accept that he's not the first minister to be<BR/>removed. Others have been removed and found guilty by the courts, even<BR/>of murder."<BR/><BR/>On tapes that Islamic fundamentalists have secretly circulated calling<BR/>for the assassination of Malaysian leaders: "They are trying to stir<BR/>up the worst kind of feelings among Muslims. We have never had these<BR/>things happen before. But some crazy chap might just do something<BR/>crazy like assassinating people. We take the threat seriously."<BR/><BR/>All vintage Mahathir. Strong-willed, stubborn and very much a<BR/>visionary, Mahathir may be, after 18 years in power, the last of a<BR/>breed. As societies in the region become more open and democratic, the<BR/>day of leaders staying at the helm for a generation or more and<BR/>single-handedly shaping the destiny of their countries--Ho Chi Minh of<BR/><BR/>Vietnam, Suharto of Indonesia, Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, Mahathir of<BR/>Malaysia--may well be nearing an end.<BR/><BR/>Mahathir still punches a time clock when he comes to work every<BR/>morning. He endlessly scribbles notes to himself in 2-by-3-inch spiral<BR/>notebooks on ways to uplift Malaysia. ("Improve the infrastructure of<BR/>water sewerage," says the most recent entry.) He drives himself<BR/>through this capital on Sundays, making notes on potholes and parks<BR/>that need sprucing up. He's even been known to stop by the new airport<BR/>to check the cleanliness of public bathrooms.<BR/><BR/>'Picture of Him . . . Is Often Inaccurate' <BR/><BR/>A physician before entering politics, Mahathir--or Dr. M, as many call<BR/>him--most admires President Nelson Mandela of South Africa among<BR/>today's leaders, enjoys the novels of Wilbur Smith and Robert Ludlum,<BR/>finds time for few hobbies other than horseback riding, is<BR/>uncomfortable with small talk and appears not to have enriched himself<BR/>during 35 years in politics, Western diplomats said.<BR/><BR/>"He's acerbic, crotchety and self-righteous," said one European envoy.<BR/>"That said, I'd agree the picture the West gets of him is one-sided<BR/>and often inaccurate. He's done a lot of great things for Malaysia,<BR/>and on some controversial issues he's right. But he never dodges a<BR/>question, he takes risks and that gets him in trouble."<BR/><BR/>Mahathir, for instance, stirred up a hornets' nest last year when he<BR/>blamed Malaysia's economic crisis on hedge-fund traders such as George<BR/>Soros and on Jews. "I'm not saying every Jew is bad," he said, "but<BR/>the fact remains Soros is a Jew and he attacked us. Just because I<BR/>said that doesn't mean I'm anti-Jew."<BR/><BR/>Though branded by some as an anti-Semite because of the comment,<BR/>Mahathir is the one who overcame opposition from Parliament and<BR/>Islamic groups to bring an Israeli cricket team to Malaysia two years<BR/>ago. He also sponsors Israeli students on two-week study tours to<BR/>Malaysia "because we believe there should be understanding between<BR/>Muslims and Jews." Mahathir's fight for women's rights led in 1997,<BR/>after a<BR/><BR/>seven-year battle in Parliament, to Malaysia becoming the only<BR/>Southeast Asian<BR/><BR/>country with a law against domestic violence. And when a radical<BR/>mullah recently said, "It would be better to wallow in mud with pigs<BR/>than shake the hand of a woman," there wasn't a word of protest, even<BR/>from groups supporting women's and human rights. Only Mahathir lashed<BR/>out publicly against the comment.<BR/><BR/>While most remain silent, he stands up to fundamentalists who want to<BR/>turn Malaysia into a sectarian Islamic state. He also, Western<BR/>political analysts say, is the primary force that created racial<BR/>harmony and a large middle class in a society populated by Malays,<BR/>Indians and Chinese--a contribution Mahathir considers his proudest<BR/>achievement.<BR/><BR/>In 1969, race riots in Malaysia claimed 300 lives. "I think the reason<BR/>he irritates so many people is because he doesn't fit the Hollywood<BR/>stereotype of an Asian," said his daughter, Marina Mahathir, a<BR/>41-year-old activist against AIDS and for women's<BR/><BR/>rights. "Asian leaders are meant to be 'yes-sir, no-sir.' They are<BR/>polite. They avoid controversy and conflict. Dad doesn't cater to<BR/>that. He likes to fight. He's brutally honest. That's the problem. But<BR/>it's not his problem. It's other peoples' problem."<BR/><BR/>Trying to Erase Inferiority Complex <BR/><BR/>In the span of a generation, Mahathir took Malaysians from the rice<BR/>paddies to the semiconductor plants. He is obsessed with making<BR/>Malaysia an industrialized country by 2020 (which is the license plate<BR/>number of his locally produced Perdona sedan), and he is still shaped,<BR/>he admits, by the experience of growing up under British colonial rule<BR/>and being told Malays were inferior, uneducated and not capable of<BR/><BR/>accomplishing much worthwhile. <BR/><BR/>"We grew up with an inferiority complex, being told we were aborigines<BR/>from the jungle," said Sen. Zainuddin Maidin. "Now, foreigners come<BR/>here and look up at the tallest building in the world, at the newest<BR/>airport in the region, and they say, 'Wow, look at all Malaysia has<BR/>done.' "That gives us psychological esteem. That's Mahathir's great<BR/>strength. He's given us confidence. His weakness is his stubbornness<BR/>and the fact that he will sacrifice friends to achieve what he<BR/>believes in."<BR/><BR/>When Malaysia became independent in 1957, per capita income was $350 a<BR/>year. By the beginning of 1997 it was nearly $5,000, and Malaysia had<BR/>been transformed into one of Asia's economic "tigers." It was the<BR/>trendy place for hedge-fund managers to park their funds and billions<BR/>of dollars poured into Malaysian stocks and projects, often without<BR/>much research. On June 17, 1997, the International Monetary Fund<BR/>praised Malaysia's economic fundamentals and said Mahathir's policies<BR/>justified<BR/><BR/>the confidence investors had shown. Two weeks later, the currency in<BR/>neighboring Thailand collapsed, heralding a crisis that eventually<BR/>damaged economies across Asia and around the globe. Hedge-fund<BR/>managers pulled their money out of Malaysia<BR/><BR/>as quickly as they had put it in. "The economic tigers," Mahathir<BR/>said, "have now become whimpering kittens." <BR/><BR/>Economic Woes Increase Calls to Step Down The Malaysian currency, the<BR/>ringgit, lost 60% of its value, per capita income by late 1997 had<BR/>fallen to about $1,500, and $100 billion was wiped out of the local<BR/>stock market. Mahathir says the meltdown<BR/><BR/>has cost Malaysia $140 billion. <BR/><BR/>"Of course, I'm angry that 40 long years of toil and sweat have been<BR/>destroyed in a very short period of time," Mahathir said. "On top of<BR/>that we're being blamed for destroying our economy when we know we<BR/>weren't the cause. To re-create this wealth will take a long time, a<BR/>decade or more. It's the waste that angers me. So much wasted effort,<BR/>so many lost dreams."<BR/><BR/>There are still many Malaysians who support Mahathir. Many others<BR/>appreciate his achievements but think it's time for him to step aside.<BR/>He said he had intended to retire last year--a plan that was derailed<BR/>by the economic crisis and the Anwar affair. But he said he won't quit<BR/>now because it would appear he was running from tough times. He plans<BR/>to stand again in the next general election--Malaysia's elections are<BR/><BR/>legitimate, hard-fought and do not provide the prime minister with a<BR/>free ride--which will be held by April 2000. <BR/><BR/>And how would Mahathir, who had heart bypass surgery in 1989, like to<BR/>be remembered by history? He chuckled softly, which is about as<BR/>demonstrative as he ever gets. "Oh, I really don't care," he said. "In<BR/>40 years I'm not going to be around, and when you are dead, people<BR/>will say nasty things about you. . . . It doesn't make a difference to<BR/>me. I just want to do what I can for my country while I'm alive."<BR/><BR/>Copyright 1999 Los Angeles Times.
