Tun Dr. Mahathir & Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah – as viewed by Sudirman Arshad
There is nothing that I can say to justify Malaysia's Most Visionary Prime Minister...
Sudirman always told me to study Tun Mahathir, follow Tun and what He did very closely, buy all Tun's books, read all Tun's Articles & Statements...
So much so that, immediately after winning the title of Asia's Best Performer, at the Asian Music Awards at the Royal Albert Hall, London, March 1989, Sudirman dedicated his win to the people of Malaysia and to his Mentor, Tun Dr. Mahathir, and that was flashed across every newspaper the next day, front page...
To Sudirman, Tun was MORE than a Prime Minister with a Vision...
To Sudirman, Tun was MORE than a politician
To Sudirman, Tun was MORE than the Longest Serving Prime Minister...
To Sudirman, Tun was MORE than a Great Malaysian Hero...
To Sudirman, Tun was MORE than a MAN....TUN was the BEST thing for MALAYSIA...more like GOD sent...
That's what Sudirman always told me and there is more, but this is all I can recall right now...
Now in Hindsight, How right Sudirman was....
Without Tun Mahathir, there would be NO Proton, NO Petronas Twin Towers, NO KLIA, NO Formula 1, No MultiMedia Super Corridor ( MSC ), NO Knowledge Based Economy, NO 25 Minute ERL from Sentral to KLIA and the list can go on & on & on & on...
and arguably, Malaysia would NOT be so advanced as we are today....
All I can end with is how fondly Tun Dr. Mahathir & Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah would refer to Sudirman as Anakanda, which means :
...anakanda (Lit.) 1 Child , son (respectful , use mostly in letters with the meaning I or you).
2. familiar form of address to young people .
Sudirman looked up to and Loved Tun Dr. Mahathir & Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah tremendously...
...and they Loved Him back...
