You should say:
➜ who your admirable leader is
➜ reason for your choice
➜ what inspires you to have him/her as your admirable leader
➜ How does this leader influence you

My admirable leader is Tun Dr. Mahathir. I think he was a very important leader for some time in
history. I like him because he made so many things that make us proud to be Malaysian.
Firstly, I do believe that in his own eyes, Tun truly believes he is a man of integrity and works
hard to better the nation. During his years as Prime Minister, we live in a very peaceful and stable
nation. He also made good relationship with other country as well.
What inspires me to have him as my admirable leader is because he did not have many
controversial issues. But after more than 15 years, it was time for him to step down n pass his title to
others. He tried so hard to make sure that Malaysia becomes a developed country.
Finally, Tun Mahathir influences me when i saw his interview on youtube. At every public

disease known as “Dyslexia” because of that he could read and write well, “Amir Khan” role is the
character that I like the most. He acts so confidently and powerful. In the film, he is excellent at
drawing and imagination. But the parents always force and compel the child to do well in studies.
Since he performs poorly he often gets punished by a teacher as well as the parents.

This character influences me to be grateful for what I have now in my life. It also makes me
think that I should do what I want in my life regardless what other people think. This film is suitable
to be watched by teenagers because we can relate to what happened in the film with our own

refuse to go along with it.

who stand idly by, a student leader is likely to step up and put an
end to it
