Fortune’s sixth annual leaders list pays homage to “thinkers, speakers, and doers [who] make bold choices and take big risks – and move others to do the same.”
The business magazine wrote about Dr. M saying,
“At 93, Mahathir is writing an unexpected chapter in his legacy. During his first, 22-year tenure as Prime Minister, from 1981 to 2003, he turned Malaysia into one of Southeast Asia’s economic tigers. Last year, he returned from seclusion to run for office on an anti-corruption platform, leading a new political party to a shocking victory.”

The magazine goes on to say, “Mahathir is now tackling the endemic corruption plaguing the country’s institutions. Mahathir and his party are now moving to protect judicial independence and press freedom, recognising that they help keep a democracy honest.”
