Makassar (ANTARA Sulsel) - Former Malaysian prime minister Mahatir Muhammad is expected in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on January 13, 2010, Hasanuddin University (Unhas) Rector Idrus Paturusi said here on Wednesday.
He said Mahatir would come to Makassar at the invitation of Hasanuddin University to speak at an international seminar on Democracy for People's Welfare on January 14, 2010.
"The former Malaysian prime minister and his entourage of nine people will arrive here by a private jet plane from Kuala Lumpur next Wednesday," Paturusi said, adding the Malaysian government had put three jet planes at the disposal of its prime minister, king, and former top government officials.
At the seminar, Mahatir would speak on Malaysia's concept of democracy and efforts to raise its ethnic Malay people to the same level of welfare as the other ethnic communities, namely the Chinese and Indians.
The seminar would be attended by around 1,500 alumni of Hasanuddin University living at home and overseas.
Meanwhile, the seminar committee's chairman, Majdah Muhiddin, said Mahatir's spirit of democracy to improve the harmony and welfare among all elements of the Malaysian public should be a good lesson for other countries.
He said besides attending the seminar, Mahatir would also tour Makassar and visit historical sites such as Fort Rotterdam and Balla Lompoa in Goa district.
