Tun Dr. Mahathir; the forgotten Malaysia Prime Minister

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammed is the long serving Malaysia Prime Minister from 1981 until 2003 but is he already forgotten? Some people think he is a dictator and strongly related to ISA. While some other very grateful to him for the development of Malaysia.

Do you know that Tun Dr. Mahathir is the only Malaysia Prime Minister who isn't been feature in Malaysia Commemorative Coin? Even the current Prime Minister Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi already been feature in Ninth Malaysia Plan commemorative Coin series.

Malaysia 1st Prime Minister, TunKu Abdul Rahman been feature in at least 3 Commemorative Coin series. Prime minister Commemorative Coin series issued in 1971. 25th Anniversary of Indepence Commemorative Coin Series issued in 1982. 100 Years Of Tunku Abdul Rahman coin series issued in 2005.

Malaysia 2nd Prime Minister, Tun Hj Abdul Razak been feature in 2 Commemorative Coin Series. His potrait been feature in 3rd Malaysia Plan Commemorative Coin series issued by Malaysia Central Bank on 15 December 1976.

Malaysia 3rd Prime Minister, Tun Hussien Onn also been feature in 1 Commemorative Coin Series. His potrait been feature in 4th Malaysia Plan Commemorative Coin series issued by Malaysia Central Bank on 1 December 1981.

I wish Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammed will be feature in a new commemorative coin. He is also the longest serving Prime Minister in Southeast Asia. Maybe he don't want to be features in any Malaysia Commemorative Coin. Who know?
