Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad was the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia. He held the post for 22 years from 1981 to 2003, being Malaysia’s longest-serving Prime Minister and one of the longest-serving leaders in the entire Asia.

Throughout the The Second World War, where the Japanese armies dominated the Malaya, Mahathir assisted to reduce his family’s monetary burden by offering banana fritters and other snacks.
He participated in a Malay vernacular school before continuing his education at the Sultan Abdul Hamid College in Alor Setar.
