Dr M is 82 today. His "official" date of birth is Dec 20, 1925 but Mahathir Mohamad was actually born on July 10 that year.
Yesterday, July 9, was the 22nd anniversary of the first Proton that was rolled out. I doubt it will see 23.
Happy Birthday, Tun.
Dear TDM,
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns and the very best of health!
"Many happy returns of the day- Tun !
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this country will see its 82nd. birthday...judging by the way it is being run and the morons sending us back in time instead of going forward ! We will probabaly see a 82 B.C. birthday at this rate !
But I will raise a glass and drink to Tun's good health !
Cheeeers !
my best wishes to Tun.
ReplyDeleteAaah....Proton. I still remember covering the assignment in which Musa Hitam (then DPM) announced the country's plan to produce a national car.
and then, not long after, I and several journalists tested the proton saga.
i remember the look on motorists' faces we passed along the federal highway. we got the thumbs-up all the way.
of course, today......
Happy Birthday Tun.
ReplyDeleteAbout Proton, there are plans to turn it around internally. Would have been done earlier if not for intervention. Lets wait till the 3rd week of this month to see something followed by middle of next month and then in January 2008. This internal plan would most likely work.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
ReplyDeleteSemuga Allah panjangkan umur, dan selamat sejahtera Tun Dr Mahathir. You're the best PM in the whole wide world. And the best thing that ever happened to Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Dr M, stay on for many more years, InsyaAllah.
ReplyDeleteAlhamdullillah.
ReplyDeleteI hope Tun Dr Mahathir and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah are both doing fine healthy on vacation somewhere in Turkey.... (that's what I read from the bloggers net).
Tun, please take good rest always. We some Malaysians may be little bit selfish by asking and/or begging you to make a comeback to the people thereafter straighten the nation.
When was the last time the World has its Mahatma Gandhi..., after Mr. Nelson Mandela...
Take care!
Dear Tun Dr. M,
ReplyDeleteMy felicitations. Many Happy Returns of the Day :)
Wish you a good health and may ALLAH bless you

Happy birthday Tun. Thank you for your big contribution to Malaysia. We will not forget you.
ReplyDeleteAn old lion is better than a young ass.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday TDM.
Happy Birthday Tun, Indeed you are a great son of Malaysia. During your leadership of the country, You quantum leaped us into the first world, creates jobs and prosperity for the people. Turning Malaysia into one of the world top trading country in just a short span of times. Thank You Sir for a job well done. May you continue to have the best of health. Happy Birthday. Take care.
ReplyDeleteyeahh, Tun the MAN. the LIVING LEGEND. happy birthday Sir. being a malaysian i can never thank you enough. salute.
ReplyDeleteHow times have changed. In school and in college I used to view him as the country's ultimate evil - the arrogance and seeming total disrespect the government seemed to have for its fellow Malaysians. This was epitomised in the lines "It is not necessary for us...to explain this or that" or "there is no need to discuss..." Not necessary? No need to discuss? I went to my one and only Opposition get together and realised these fellows were not good salesmen for hope. Grudging respect grew when he put Mat Sallehs in their place, helped us survive past '97 and kept us going when all seemed to be against us.I was asked once who I would like to meet in the world. I thought long and hard, figured out Catherine Zeta Jones might be bored with me, George Lucas would try to sell me more merchandise and... kept quiet. At that time saying Mahatir Muhamad at the crowded table seemed wrong. Well I'm saying it now, Tun Dr. Mahatir Mohamad.
ReplyDeletehappy Birthday Tun.
ReplyDeletewish u a healthy and meaningful years ahead.
Sesunguhnya Perjuangan Kita Belum Selesai!

ReplyDeleteGod bless you always... !!!
Dr M birthday today, is he?
ReplyDeleteBoy I thought it was in December
I met him once in Alor Star
When I asked him to sign his book
“The Malay Dilemma”
He didn’t ask me to go away
Because I was companying him then
He smile at me
I gave him my pen
And he signed his book
I kept it till today
Though I don’t really agree
With some of the laws passed in his time
Projects and helping his friends along the way
But I should agree
He is a one mean machine
He says what is in his mind
He doesn’t need advice
Looking at our current situation
We need someone like him
But he is now on the roadside
Like me and everyone of us
Happy Birthday Tun Dr M
May Allah grants you
His graces for you to tell the country
Of the wrongs happening
Selamat Hari Lahir YAB Tun.
ReplyDeleteSemoga Allah SWT sentiasa merahmati Tun sekeluarga.
Amin.
Selamat Ulang Tahun, YABhg Tun Dr. Mahathir,
ReplyDeleteSemoga Tun & Tun Siti Asmah Sihat Sejahtera.
Kami akan meneruskan perjuanganmu yang belum selesai.

Yes TDM many happy returns of the day. My birthday is just next day after yours.
ReplyDeleteI cannot forget how happy you made allof us feel when you visited us at the KL International Motor Show. You made us proud to be Malaysian!
We pray and hope God will give you the strength and grace to lead our nation again. Also congratulations on your successful nomination as delegate. We will not make the same mistake twice. See you at the top!
"Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
ReplyDeleteWhen I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way."
Terima Kasih TUN .. Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday, Tun! May you have many, many more birthdays to come! God bless you!

ReplyDeleteSelamat sejahtera Tun Dr Mahathir. You're wounderful and we will always remember you and if their is any words to remember you than is only one, you are simply "Perwaja".
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Tun. We'll always remember you, with fondness, of course!

ReplyDeleteSemoga murah rezeki, terus berjuang dan sentiasa dirahmati Allah
Nuraina, why mention the name of that weasel on such an auspicious day like TDM's birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birtday, TDM!
When you were PM, you made us proud to be a Malaysian, and you were made the world see Malaysia in a different light.
Unfortunately, the light is flikering and looks like extinguishing itself.
I do not have any confidence at all with this whatcamacallit claiming Prime Minister. Is he really the Prime Minister? Or is his position called Prime or Puppet Minister?
Da Man...He Da Man...
ReplyDeleteHappy Bday Tun . ..
Happy Birthday Tun, May you have good health, though I never met you face to face, may i thank you for leading the nation. I may not agree with some of your decision but i still thank you for a good job done.

ReplyDeleteTake your rest. We might be selfish but we need you. I promised my children to bring them to see you one day because they might not see another great man in their life time again.

Happy Birthday. Cheers to Dr M.
ReplyDeleteAs for Proton, with all the globe trotting meetings for the past 3 months with no results, maybe the foreign partner are not in a hurry to seal the deal but seems otherwise for Proton. Proton needed them fast n furious...
Shiock

ReplyDeleteDear all, let me, on behalf of my Dad, thank you for all your kind wishes. He had a pretty good birthday dinner last night with kids and grandkids.(He is in KL BTW).
ReplyDeleteAnd tomorrow happens to be Mum's 81st birthday too!
Open letter to Umno: Hey, have you forgotten Tun's birthday? Or are you acolytes suffering from selective amnesia? I think it is more likely amnesia. I really respect you Umno guys. You are good - especially when it comes to where your bread is buttered.
ReplyDeleteKami tidak lupa, Tun...kami takkan lupa.
ReplyDeleteSelamat Hari Jadi, Tun... dan semoga dipanjangkan umur dan di berkati Allah. Amin.
Saya Anak Malaysia
Happy Birthday Tun and also Toh Puan Siti Hasmah.

Dear Tun,
ReplyDeleteI am not your real supporter, i dont agree with some of your decision, now and then. But having read all this posting, i almost cry... you r such a special citizen of our beloved country. Thank you for the contributions, no words can really describe our appreciation. Some can write long story abt your bad sides but no one can deny the good things you have done, or compare you with the current PM...he is nowhere near you!
Happy Birthday Tun! Semoga Allah memberkati dan mengampunkan segala dosa-dosa, sekiranya ada.
Wassalam,
Anak Terengganu di KL...
Dear Ayahanda Tun Dr. Mahathir,
ReplyDeleteJasa mu tetap kami hargai dan akan kami kenang sehingga akhir hayat.
I must tell you this: I took my late father to KLIA many years ago and when he stepped in, took a seat and he cried and said to me 'pejuang yang sebenarnya, yang memajukan negara tanpa rasa takut dan ragu2. Inilah dia pemimpin yang telah bawak Malaysia ke tahap yang ini.....abah kagum dgn pemimpin ini, dr, Mahathir.. manusia yang cekal merancang dan membina Malaysia.'
Yes, each time I go to KLIA, I take a pause and remember that moment.
Tun, Kami akan pastikan anak2 kami membaca mengenai Tun dan semua yang telah Tun berikan kepada Malaysia.
Semuga Allah memberikan kesihatan yang baik kepada Tun suami isteri.
Dearest Tun/Toh Puan,
ReplyDeleteSelamat Hari Jadi and may God bless you always.
Insyallah!
Ya Habibi, TDM Happy Birthday To You. Your Opened Policy had made us able to go and work in the Middle East. They still said to Malaysian "Mahathir Man"
ReplyDeleteSalam, actually I did cry reading this page... As I cried reading 'The Malay Dilemma' many years ago.
ReplyDeleteTun, thank you so much. Semoga Allah berkati hidup dan matimu. Semoga anak cucu kita tidak lupa sepanjang zaman...
Terima kasih...
