A Doctor in the House - The Memoirs of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

I finished reading "A Doctor In The House". Took me more than a week to finish the 800 page book. It's a memoir written by Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad himself, starting from his parents humble beginnings and his own upbringing in Malaya under British rule. it also gives us insight on his experience becoming one of the first Malay doctors in Kedah until the time he resigns as Malaysia's longest serving Prime Minister, up to the recent events occurring within this past year. Known for his outspoken - and often criticized - views and unmoving stand for anything he believes in, this is a must read for those who wish to see the life and times of Che' Det through his perspective.

Being born in a time where Malaysia has already become a prosperous and stable country, the memoir has made me come to realize a lot of things that i did not know or had been misinformed previously. Also made me be grateful for all his work and ideas that has made our country the way it is now, regardless of what others say.

This is the former premier's point of view, his perspective, the way he sees it. As with any historical event, there are always more than one side of the story. Any suggestions to other perspectives? I'd be glad to read them too.
