Mahathir says,“I inherited the strength of will and pragmatism
from previous prime ministers. From the 1st I learnt how to handle race relations. From 2nd I learnt pragmatism. I am less diplomatic. I feel
something is right and should be done, I will do it and will say it. That’s really the difference. All
these ideas were put in place by my predecessors, so I owe it to them.”

Some quotes by Mahathir Mohammad
50
“I'm a fundamentalist in the true sense. That is to say, I follow the
fundamentals of religion... But for over 1,400 years people have been
interpreting and re-interpreting the religion to suit their own purpose! ...
These [extremist and terrorist acts] are not Islamic fundamentals any more
than the Christians who burned people at the stake are fundamentalist. They
are actually deviating from the teachings of the religion!”
52
“The financial turmoil has underscored the many challenges inherent in
globalization, ... Even as we embrace it, we must be wary of the dangers
which accompany it.”
53
“If that is everybody's desire we will have to consider it”
“I have promised not to interfere in politics and I have not said anything about many things which were done
wrong”
