The demand for the Nobel Peace Prize for Malaysian's new Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad has begun. He has already made an online application to consider nomination for him. After the application last Saturday, more than a million people signed it.
According to The Star Online and Channel News Asia, an online Mahathir named Chang Dot ORG has been petitioned to nominate Mohamed for the Nobel Peace Prize. Mahathir Mohammad has been compared with Nelson Mandela, the leader of the anti-apartheid movement, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and the first black president of South Africa. Alexandria Abyssagam, a woman named Change.org, appealed online on Saturday 26 May. Within two days of application, more than 1, 3, 000 signatures have been received in the Malaysian local time on Monday till 9 pm.
Abyssagam wrote in his application, he should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for recognition of Mahathir's "determination". He wrote, 'Tune Mahathir Mohammad emphasized on the transparency, democracy, and rule of law for Malaysia. The most important thing is, Mahathir openly acknowledged his mistake and apologized for his past mistakes. It actually turned him into a 'great man'. At the same time, it has brought him the status of a leader. '
In an old age, Abhishek Mahel, who was re-elected as the 'Mandela' Malaysian in an application to Mahathir, won the election again. At the same time, Prime Minister's commitment to peacefully transfer power has also been appreciated.
Mahathir, who retired in 2003, after being in power for 22 years since 1981. During his reign, many people called Malaysia 'Asia of Europe'. But after his disciple Najib Razak took power, Mahathir returned to the political scene again at the age of 92, due to corruption and scandals in the state.
Whether or not Mahathir gets Nobel Peace Prize, it is not a big deal. But this love of people is a great achievement for him. This year's nomination for a Nobel prize was made until 1 February of the year 2018. In this case, the 92-year-old Mahathir's Nobel will get many years of reciprocity - but depending on it.
