Human Trafficking~

INTRODUCTION

Human trafficking is the widespread crimes around the globe. Human trafficking can be said as the practice of humans being tricked, lured, coerced or otherwise removed from their home or country, and then forced to work with no or low payment or on terms which are highly exploitative. The practice is considered to be trade or commerce of people, which has many features of slavery, and which is illegal in most countries. Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminals in the world together with the drug smuggling and other criminal organization as well. Trafficking is a lucrative industry. In some areas, like Russia, Eastern Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, and Colombia, trafficking is controlled by large criminal organizations and always been associated with crime actives.

Basically, women are particularly targeted by traffickers, especially for the sex industry. Often, the traffickers promise of good jobs or opportunities for work or a better life, and then force the victims to become prostitutes. Through agents and brokers who arrange the travel and job placements, women are escorted to their destinations and delivered to the employers and end with the sex slaves. The major factor that leads to human trafficking is that of the poverty. Poverty in certain countries has forced people to sell their children and wives in order pay debt and so on due to the poor living. I mostly focus on the women and children trafficking as they are always been discriminated and have a high rate of becoming slaves.

In addition to that, I also focus on how human trafficking effected globally and focus on the relationship between terrorism and human trafficking. I also discussed about the violation of human rights as the human trafficking is totally violates human rights.



BACKGROUND

WHAT IS HUMAN TRAFFICKING?

According to the definition by United Nation, human trafficking refers to the “movement of the people violence, deception, or coercion for the purpose of forced labor, servitude or slavery-liked practices”. It is known as slavery because the traffickers use violence, threats, and other form of coercion to force their victims to work against their will. ( Sandra Keefer, 2006). This is mean that the traffickers control their live and their freedom is in the hand of the traffickers. Thus, human trafficking as define by the United Nation is “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. ( Sandra Keefer, 2006).

In addition, trafficked persons are often treated as criminals, rather than as victims of crime, they have no freedom and it is the worst than the old types of slavery. Many of them especially women and children are subject to become sex slavery. Human trafficking is not a new issue, in fact, it is the largest criminal activities in the world. Every country in the world is affected by these crimes. The challenge for all countries whether it is rich or poor, is to target the criminals who exploit desperate people and to protect and assist victims of trafficking and smuggled migrants.

In addition, women and children are more being trafficked compared to men. Basically, women are being forced to the sex industries as sex slaves. The major reason is that of poverty that these women had face forced them to involve in this sex industries. Mainly, women always been discriminate in the society, thus, they are always being abandoned especially in the poor countries. Moreover, due to the extreme poverty, the parents are willingly selling their children in order to survive. The State Departments conservative estimate calculates that 2-4 million people are trafficked annually, but some estimates range as high as 27 million. 800,000 people are trafficked across international boarders each year; 80 percent woman and 5 percent children. According to Condoleezza Rice, as many as 17,500 people are trafficked to the United States each year. The United Nation’s Protocol to Protect puts the number of people the victims of human trafficking at any given time at 12.3 million. (Armstrong,2008)


CAUSES OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

1) Poverty

The main problem of and causes of women and children trafficking is poverty. Poverty forces women to work and earning money in order to survive. Women that live in the poor country are much more affected by this and force them to sell their children and becoming the victims of the traffickers. The economic crisis for example is more affected the poor women. The economic crisis has made it extremely difficult for families to survive on a single wage, forcing additional women into the labor force to meet the rising cost of living and the decreased wage-earning capacity of man due to the unemployment or wages cut. ( Visvanathan,Duggan,Nisonoff & Wiegersma, 1997,p.267). This situation had force women to find a job in order to support their family and they willing to do anything including selling themselves to the traffickers that promise them a good job. This is how the traffickers control over them and sell them as a sex slaves and so on. Exporting women is a big business. It actually gives profit not only to the traffickers but also to the country as they are searching for a hard currency due to the fact of the global sex trade. It also

In addition, not only women are the victims of the poverty, but also the children. Parents who can not afford for their children will sell their children in order to survive. And these children then will become slaves and work to the labor force outside the countries. Trafficking of children often involves exploitation of the parents' extreme poverty. The latter may sell children to traffickers in order to pay off debts or gain income or they may be deceived concerning the prospects of training and a better life for their children. Trafficking always violates the child’s right to grow up in a family environment. Children who have been trafficked face a range of dangers, including violence and sexual abuse.

2) Lack of political, social, and economical stability or political conflict.

The political instability is also the main problem that leads to the human trafficking. The countries that are undeveloped most probably lead to the human trafficking due to the fact that they have high rate of unemployment. The political conflict leads to the economic decrease of the country where the other countries refuse to invest in that country that has a political instability. The gross domestic product (GDP) will decrease thus affect the development of the countries.

Moreover, the discrimination against women is also one of the factors that lead to human trafficking. Women have been discriminate for decades. Women always been left behind men and being oppressed by men. This is actually the major factor that leads to human trafficking among women when they think that women are not valuable, but only for sex trade. Women are unequal to men in all these places both under law and in life. (MacKinnon, 2006,p.105).Women also being left in term of education, thus make them being abandon in the society and hardly find a job in order to survive, thus make them easy to sell themselves to the traffickers.

3) Lack of effective anti-trafficking legislation

The lack of anti-trafficking legislation creates a huge problem since there is no restriction on that. Human is still being trafficked domestically and internationally without any restriction and it affected the country itself by distorting the development of that country. In addition, women particularly are more affected by these, as they are everywhere overwhelmingly responsible for family and household maintenance and because there is no restriction on this matter, the crime continuously happened in most countries rich and poor.


GLOBAL IMPACT OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Human trafficking is the increasingly widespread form of international criminal and it has given many impacts domestically as well as globally. Human trafficking happens to be a serious problem that should be taken into consideration among all people around the globe due to its impact on international matters. There are several consequences of the human trafficking which are:-

1) Impact to the international and national security

Human trafficking can give impact to international security. Human trafficking basically related to international organized crime. After the attack of September 11, the war on terrorism has been spread widely. Human trafficking is also related to terrorism where it is believe that the migration of the people are involved in terrorism and the money made from human trafficking are linked to funding terrorist attack. This is also discussed about the issues of migration, where people migrate across the border and this affecting the national security. Thus, it is believe that human trafficking is relating to terrorist movement that can lead to terrorist attack. It is maybe the criminal’s agenda to enter one’s country in order to attack those countries. It is the global threat that should be taken as a serious problem by everyone.

In addition, the transports of people annually across the national border have made significant influence to the national security. These people may involve in terrorist activities due to the fact of the national security attacked. Terrorism is really dangerous not only to that country but also to all people around the world, as it can give a broader impact to the whole system of the country, thus can distort the development of that countries for example the attack on the World Trade Center had leads to the economic destruction this due the fact that the Bush administrations focus more on the war on terrorism. It not all that, all the country around the world also been affected, this is because, as we all know that U.S is the ‘truly superpower’. The U.S is an extraordinarily wealthy and powerful state. Due to the September 11 attack, U.S was in recession and it is joined by all the world’s major economies. Thus, it means that, the migration of the people across the national borders may lead to the terrorism that can affect the whole society.

2) Impact on the human health

In addition, besides terrorism, human trafficking may also affect human health as well. The sex industries for example may bring many contagious diseases to the people’s health. The spread of HIV and AIDS for example is the main problem that is caused by human trafficking. Women are trafficked for sexual exploitation and forced labor in factories or as domestic servants and because of this, the spread of HIV and AIDS is wider. This actually can affect the human health thus, also affect the national development as well. UNAIDS estimates 5.4 million people were living with HIV in the Asia Pacific region in 2006, with anywhere between 140,000 and 610,000 people dying from AIDS-related illnesses. That makes it the world's second largest number of people living with HIV after sub-Saharan Africa, where 25.8 million people are infected with the virus.

The sex sector is never give benefits but disasters. The spread of AIDS actually can affect the economic of the countries. The countries have to spend a billion in order to overcome these issues. Thus, it also distorts the human development due to this factor. The number of women infected with HIV in some African Countries is high, particularly in the urban area. The extreme poverty, lack of resources and the heavy burden of work are the actually caused for women to be infected by AIDS. As discussed earlier, these women will have no choice because of their poorness, thus forces them to sell themselves to the traffickers in order to survive and these may lead to the spread of AIDS. ( Visvanathan,Duggan,Nisonoff & Wiegersma, 1997,p.305)

3) Impact on the Human Rights





Human trafficking actually violates human rights. The sex abuse among women is totally violates women’s rights. The status of women must be clear because women are also a human being that should be treated equally. The trafficking of women for the sex slaves and sexual exploitation is an organized, criminal phenomenon that has given bad consequences for the safety, welfare and human rights of its victim. Not on a women but also the children as what have been mention that human trafficking is totally violates the basic human rights.

What is human right? Human right is establish in order to protect the right of the people. human rights refer to the basic right and freedoms to which all humans are entitled, often held to include the right to life and liberty, freedom of expression and thought, and also the equality before the law. In addition to that, poverty is also directly linked to the questions of rights. Poor nations are in no position to exercise their right of free expression in international level especially if they are heavily indebted to international banks an so on and these factor affected women very hard. Women will be discriminate by paying the lower salary and so on and as mentioned earlier, this is what lead to the women trafficking that is totally violates the women’s right (as the rights of the women have been long time violated due to this poor living). Children that have been trafficked also being manipulated by these people, and they have no right to live as a human being rather than they have to be slaves and live in the dark. These is actually violates their right as they can not have the right to live as a normal children.

SOLUTIONS

In order to stop human trafficking that gives so many impacts to the global world, some strategies should be taken. This is to ensure that the widespread of these criminal organizations is prevented and the dignity of human being is preserved. There are several ways to stop human trafficking that are being done which are :-

1) International movement to eliminate trafficking in women

The realization by the international community is important in order to know that trafficking represents violence against women. In 19993, the United Nation World Conference on Human Rights, which took place n Vienna, spelled out the concept of human rights and pointed the elimination of trafficking in women as one of the subjects to be addressed in solving the problem of violence against women. The General Assembly of the United Nations also adopted the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against women as violence in the society.

The platform from action adopted by Beijing conference, points out 12 area of violence against women that should be concerned which among them are :
1) Punishment of perpetrators through both criminal and civil laws
2) Dismantling networks in trafficking
3) Cooperation with NGO’s in providing social, medical and psychological care for victims and
4) Educational campaigns to prevent sex tourism and trafficking. (Yayori Matsui, 1996,p.30)

2) Take preventive strategies

This is including increase more programs on human trafficking. Non governmental organizations and human rights commission should be more alert in order to combat human trafficking as well as to promote peace in the globe. The United Nation also should be more alert in order to stop human. In addition, the public should be more aware and understand the effect of human trafficking and the cooperation between institutions and development agencies are very important to stop human trafficking. As mentioned earlier, human trafficking violates the basic human rights especially women and children where their rights have been abuse. Women are more affected by these, women are violated in many ways, from dehumanization to sexual murder, but sadly said, these issues have been taken seriously by none. What does it mean to recognize a principle called human right that does not really apply to the systematic violations of the dignity and integrity and security and life of over half the human race? Is it death of a full human being is less serious to them? Therefore, the human rights commission and other non governmental organization should take these issues as serious issues in order to protect human being from being abused.

CONCLUSION

Human trafficking had given a huge impact globally and the most hit by that are women. Human trafficking also gives a huge impact on international security. It also leads to terrorism that becomes a big threat to the whole world. In addition, human trafficking also violates the basic human rights where the victims are mostly being abuse by the traffickers. The have no right to live and do whatever they want. Women and children are the most victims and become the targeted of the traffickers. Women especially has been trafficked as a sex slaves and it is absolutely violates women’s right. There are many reasons that forced these women as well as children to be sell to the traffickers, one of the reasons is that of poverty. Extreme poverty actually forced women and children to look for a better job in order to survive, thus, they believe anything that have been promised to them.

Moreover, human trafficking has become as a global threat as its leads to terrorism. After the attack on the World Trade Center, the world has been shocked by the terrorism and people around the world live in constant fear. Terrorism always been associated with human trafficking as the people that come illegally may form the ‘terrorist organization’. People should take the issues of human trafficking as a serious problem due to the fact that it can give a huge impact to the political, social, as well as economic. Furthermore, human trafficking has ‘taken away’ the right of the people as a human, especially women that mostly become sex slaves. Women should be protected not to be exploited or abused or trafficked for sexual enjoyment. Where do international human rights law and humanitarian law stand on this? “ A human is not one who is sexually and reproductively violated”

There’s gonna be one less lonely girl
One less lonely girl
There’s gonna be one less lonely girl

Poverty

Poverty is the state for the majority of the world’s people and nations. Why is this? Is it enough to blame poor people for their own predicament? Have they been lazy, made poor decisions, and been solely responsible for their plight? What about their governments? Have they pursued policies that actually harm successful development? Such causes of poverty and inequality are no doubt real. But deeper and more global causes of poverty are often less discussed.

Behind the increasing interconnectedness promised by globalization are global decisions, policies, and practices. These are typically influenced, driven, or formulated by the rich and powerful. These can be leaders of rich countries or other global actors such as multinational corporations, institutions, and influential people. Most of humanity lives on just a few dollars a day. Whether you live in the wealthiest nations in the world or the poorest, you will see high levels of inequality.

The poorest people will also have less access to health, education and other services. Problems of hunger, malnutrition and disease afflict the poorest in society. The poorest are also typically marginalized from society and have little representation or voice in public and political debates, making it even harder to escape poverty.

By contrast, the wealthier you are, the more likely you are to benefit from economic or political policies. The amount the world spends on military, financial bailouts and other areas that benefit the wealthy, compared to the amount spent to address the daily crisis of poverty and related problems are often staggering.

A mojor causes of poverty has been discussed long ago, and the problem seems not to find an end..women and children are the most affected by this.

(click this for more info about major causes for poverty )

Around the world, in rich or poor nations, poverty has always been present.
In most nations today, inequality—the gap between the rich and the poor—is quite high and often widening.The causes are numerous, including a lack of individual responsibility, bad government policy, exploitation by people and businesses with power and influence, or some combination of these and other factors.

Many feel that high levels of inequality will affect social cohesion and lead to problems such as increasing crime and violence. Inequality is often a measure of relative poverty. Absolute poverty, however, is also a concern. World Bank figures for world poverty reveals a higher number of people live in poverty than previously thought. Poverty leads to hunger and hunger can somehow leads to revolution...poverty is not the small issue that can be put aside but need to be concern more.

~ Haramkah

Haram-haramkah aku
Bila hatiku jatuh cinta
Tuhan pegangi hatiku
Biar aku tak jadi melanggar
Aku cinta pada dirinya Cinta pada pandang pertama
Sifat manusia ada padaku
Aku bukan Tuhan

Haram-haramkah aku
Bila aku terus menantinya
Biar waktu berakhir
Bumi dan langit berantakan

Aku tetap ingin dirinya Tak mungkin aku berdusta
Hanya Tuhan yang bisa jadikan
Yang tak mungkin menjadi mungkin

Aku hanya ingin cinta yang halal
Di mata dunia juga akhirat
Biar aku sepi aku hampa aku basi
Tuhan sayang aku

Aku hanya ingin cinta yang halal
Dengan dia tentu atas izinNya
Ketika cinta bertasbih
Tuhan beri aku cinta
Ku menanti cinta…

For my mom!

How did you find the energy,
To do all the things you did,
To be teacher, nurse and counselor
To me, when I was a kid.How did you do it all,
Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate,
I just can’t comprehend.I see now it was love,
That made you come whenever I'd call,
Your inexhaustible love, Mom
And I thank you for it all.

i love you with all my heart!

~i am a thinker!!!~

Congratulations hazwani, you are a Thinker. In a moment, you’re going to learn how to use this information to improve all your personal and professional communication and get exactly what you want from everybody you deal with.


An Overview of your Thinker Behavioral Style


Here are some traits found in Thinkers. Some of these you’re going to look at and say, "That sounds quite a bit like my behavior" Others you might say, "No, I’m not usually like that." Most of these traits are in your personality, but sometimes, for various reasons, you may not exhibit all of them. Not everyone fits perfectly within these descriptors, but do try to keep an open mind as you read them. Remember, it is perfectly natural to behave differently at work than you do with your family and friends.

check out :

~ You prefer to work alone and focus on facts, data and processes.

~You rarely (if ever) make impulsive decisions; you make rational decisions based upon evidence.

~You are an inventive, creative intellectual. You are good at perfecting processes and systems.

~You prefer a work environment that is neat and tidy. "A place for everything and everything in its place!" is your motto.

~You are excellent at time management and prioritizing projects. However, you can also become caught up in details and sometimes lose sight of the "big picture."
Others view you cool, calculating and independent.

~You often wonder how other people can talk so openly about personal issues and freely offer up opinions (without substantiating their claims).

~You prefer hobbies that you can master alone. You tend to strive toward perfection and mastery… even while relaxing.

~You are not overly fond of surprises and last-second changes of plans. Loud, boisterous "surprise parties" would best be thrown for other people… you would prefer a quiet evening with a good book or movie.


::: just took some behavorial test on internet...for fun only~~hee :)... but mostly what is stated up there are true!!!! it's really fascinating!!!

~Unrevealed story about Stinky Beans~

Stinky beans or 'petai' with it's scientific names parkia speciosais are very famous among Malays...usually petai will be serves with white plain rice together with 'sambal belacan'...many do not know that petai contains several benefits for our health besides creating a bad persipiration and urine's smell become very strong...its stinky...but crunchy...and have lots of benefits to human health

several information that i found out about "Stinky Beans" :---

Petai contains three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose. Combined with fiber, petai gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two servings of petai provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder petai is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way petai can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.


Depression

According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating petai. This is because petai contains tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.





PMS (premenstrual syndrome)

You can just forget the pills and eat petai. The vitamin B6 that contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. ( so for man, whenever you wife of your girlfriend is not in mood...just give them petai...hehehe)


Anaemia

High in iron, petai can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.

Blood Pressure

This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the petai industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power

200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating petai at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. . ( so after this, whoever wants their children to be smart enough...buy petai everyday!!!hehehehe)

yeah!!m so power!

Morning Sickness

Snacking on petai between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Ulcers

Petai is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. .

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Petai can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan.

Smoking

Petai can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress

Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium petai snack.

Strokes

According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, " eating petai as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%".

so after this...we will finally say "A Petai a day keeps the doctor away".

:::support our local food!!!!

colonial history and the Palestinian issues : A brief introduction

The colonial history starts when the Arab nationalism seeks help from the British to liberate them from the Turks. The British Prime Minister is actually wanted Jerusalem. Hundreds years before the crusades war, Jerusalem was under the Christians ruled, then the Muslims took over it. Now the Palestine population of Muslims, Jew and Christians live in the harmony under the British Benevolent. In the First World War, Turkey sided with Germany. As a result of this, it had caused the conflict with the British and it has leading the British to control of the Palestine in a series of battle led by Allenby. Allenby conquered Jerusalem and he respects it as the Holy City. He also was greeted by the Christian, Jewish and Islamic leaders of the city with the great honor. In addition, when the British first arrived at the Palestine, she had a support from the Arab. The British at that time need Arab to help her in defeating Germany whereas the Arab need British to join them to fight for the independence from the Turks. The British promise independence for the Arab and the Arab trust them. The British is actually do not and always distrust the Arab and said that they are fanatic and unwilling to subject themselves to the British rules. Just after the British issued the guaranteed of independence of the Arab, the agent from France went to London for the secret meeting.


The Britain and France actually have signed the agreement called the Sykes-Picot Agreement and it is of course without the Arabs known. The Sykes-Picot Agreement was an understanding between the government of Britain and France and along with Russia defining their respective sphere of influence and control in West Asia after the expected of the downfall of Ottoman Empire during the First World War. They plan to divide the Middle East where Britain will control the Palestine and Syria as well as Lebanon under the France mandate. The Arab will be remaining divided and there is no unified Arab.

In addition, this agreement has seen to create many conflicts among Arabs and also the Western. As mention earlier, Palestine was under the mandate of Britain. In addition, in the Balfour declaration, the British government support Zionist plans for a nation home for the Jewish people in Palestine. Because of this, the Jewish immigration to the Palestine increase rapidly and this of course get objection from the Arabs leaders. This conflict between the Muslims and the Jews is continuous until now and it is because of the British colonial back then. Muslims and the Jews fight with each other regarding the territories and it is continuing until now. The Muslims and the Jew wanted the wall where for the Jews; they claimed that it is their holy place and for the Muslims it is the place where the Prophet (PBUH) tied His horse in the journey to Heaven.

The British is actually the caused of all these. Before this, the Jews and the Muslims were live side by side. Moreover, this is also the reason why there are so many terrorist arise such for example Osama Bin Laden start to oppose the British due to the fact of colonial impact on the Arab world. The children have been provide with an education which teach the history of British colonial that make them all suffer until now. ~~

Until now, the Palestinians issues are not yet resolve and the war between the Jews and Muslims will never come to an end.~~

Great Man goes his own way~

Tun Dr Mahathir is an extraordinary visionary global leader of our time. During his rule, Malaysia has faces many changes. During his term in office, he was considered by some as one of Asia's most influential leaders. He is the longest political thinkers in Asia and also a great thinker which have great ideas that can change small thing which is useless to something which is valuable. He really fascinated me in term of how he manages to bring Malaysia to the global arena.

Tun Dr.Mahathir bin Mohamad was born in 10 July 1925. He was the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia and was the longest Prime Minister in Malaysia. He was born in Alor Setar, kedah and was the youngest of nine children. His father was a headmaster and he was raised up in a simple happy family. He received his education at t the Sultan Abdul Hamid College in Alor Star. he then attended the King Edward VII Medical College (it is now National University of Singapore) in Singapore. During his life as a student, he contributed to the The Straits Times newspaper under the nickname "C.H.E. Det".

Dr Mahathir actively entered politics in 1964 as a member of parliament for UMNO. He was expelled from the party in 1969 after criticized Tunku Abdul Rahman for neglecting indigenous Malay community. He then, wrote his book, entitled “The Malay Dilemma” which was a controversial book , he try to explain the causes of the 13 May Incident in Kuala Lumpur and the reasons for the Malay’s lack of economic progress within their own country and also he discussed about the malay’s right which have been marginalized during the colonial era. This book has been banned by Tunku Abdul Rahman, but later on it has been used by Tun Abdul Razak in regard to the New Economic Policy ( NEP). He then, was elected back to join the party 7 March 1972, and was appointed as Senator in 1973. In 1981 he becomes Prime Minister.

During his reign he has brought a major change in constitution. He took on the federal and state monarchies and removing the royal veto and royal power. He also set about putting his ideas into practice and transforming Malaysia from an exporter of rubber and tin, into an Asian tiger producing electronic equipment, steel and cars. He believes in his view and always considered that his view was always right. What makes me interested with him is that the way he manage to overcome the economic crisis. During economic crisis in 1997, Tun Dr Mathathir refused to take a recovery package offered by IMF and believes that Malaysia's recovery was relatively faster and better, as compared to many other Asian countries affected. After the financial crisis, the IMF and World Bank acknowledged that Mahathir's approach had worked.

When he was appointed as Ministry of education, many have changes. He believes that only knowledge can help the poor to improve their live. He believes that knowledge can bring about a better life. In addition, Tun Mahathir always has been an outspoken critic of the western. After 9/11 , he was the only person that openly fight for the right of Islam whereas many other countries afraid of doing that. He also criticizes US for example he made a speech condemning the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, calling it an oppressive instrument by which the United States and other countries try to impose their values on Asians. He went on to share his view that Asians need stability and economic growth more than civil liberties. This is really impressed me because he always believe of the capabilities on the Asian countries rather than the western countries even though half of the world know that western especially US is the superpower and economically advance. He has opened the country to foreign investment, reformed taxation, reduced trade barriers, the privation of numerous state-owed enterprise, besides creating a world-class physical infrastructure. He also wanted to bridge Malaysia’s ethnic divides by increasing general prosperity. In 1991, he launched the New Development Policy (NDP), which emphasized on industrial and commercial development and the elimination of poverty. Under Tun Dr. Mahathir’s leadership, Malaysia developed into one of the most prosperous and dynamic economies in Southeast Asia, with a growing of industrial sector, an expanding middle class and enhanced quality of life. Malaysia also played a more active role in the international arena, acting as the voice for developing nations in Asia and Africa.

His incredibly stubborn have made him becoming a great leader of our time. He had brought many changes to Malaysia. His credibility as a leader can not be doubt. He is a charismatic leader who posses incredible ideas in which I think is hard to be found in thousands of people. He is one in a million stars. He manage to overcome crisis by crisis and never lost in those problems. I think Tun Dr Mahathir is 'our great leader', who so far making history for a greater Malaysia. May Allah blessed him . =)
