Abrasive and outspoken, Mahathir emerged as a Third World championand Islamic spokesman by condemning the West, not least for trying toimpose liberal democracy and neo-liberal economics on developing nations. By raising living standards and winning international acclaim, he contributed to a sense of national identity, pride and confidence among ethnically diverseMalaysians. But in mixing business and politics, Mahathir encouraged cronyism and failed to preventthe spread of corruption. Authoritarian and impatient, he jailed opponents, sacked rivals and undermined institutions as he pursued his obsession with development. In retirement, he broke a promise to stay out of politics, falling out with his two successors while using all available means to protect his legacy.
