Twelve years ago, he was expelled from UMNO; in 1981, he returned to take over the entire government
Mahathir challenged the Tunku with an open letter after May 13 and was subsequently expelled from UMNO. He returned to Alor Setar to practice medicine, and wrote *The Malay Dilemma*, which was banned domestically. Tun Razak brought him back into politics, and Hussein Onn chose him as Deputy Prime Minister; the landslide victory in 1982 gave him a national mandate in his own name for the first time.
