Mahathir Mohamad

Mahathir Mohamad: An Illustrated Biography
Author and illustrator: E. Yu

Author E. Yu has created a comic strip chronicling the life of Dr Mahathir Mohamad from his birth in 1925 till his retirement as the fourth Prime Minister in 1981. “Everyone in Malaysia know that Dr Mahathir was the Prime Minister of Malaysia but that’s about it. So, to know more about him, I started reading all the books on Dr Mahathir that I could find in the market. And guess what? Words can’t describe the admiration and respect I had for him after that.

This book will attract readers especially younger readers to know more about Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and perhaps they too would admire, respect and love him like I do.”
