It's literally like a magic !!! He is 92 and looks like at best at his 70s!!!
Support the rising Malaysia from Morocco ! Malaysia should create a strong alliance and lead the ASEAN countries , I pray that Mahathir will be able to live longer until things got fixed , such honest leaders are rare to find .
Onizuka Othmane thank you
You're welcome
When I was young I read storries about hero like Hang Tuah..now I can tell my grandchildren about a great man of age 93 save our beloved Malaysia...I pray that God will always bless Tun and his family with great health .
Wawasan 2020 here we cum
Hang Tuah is no hero. He just a "dog". Hang Jebat is true hero, he fight for his brother and his people and not afraid to oppose anyone who doing "evil deed" even its sultan.
hang tuah is royalist bootlicker , real hero is hang jebat.
This man is a great statesman, I'm sure he will succeed in fighting corruption and restoring financial soundness in Malaysia.
Congratulations Tun..well spoken n explained...
At this age your views are classic ,lets move firward..the rakyat should wake up..
Tun M is a genius. A very astounding record throughout his political career, though he also suffered from a tremendous controversial issues that in return, changed the wave of Malaysia as what we can see today. However, his touch and influence still remained strong even after two PM came into power. Pak Lah did not come well with the people and he became forgettable, while Najib...well, Najib is Najib lol. Without Tun M, Pakatan Harapan would still be defeated. That is what suprised people. His opponents kept on criticising that he may not bond well with a lot of people if social media exists during his time but guess what? He still won! Every race united to make sure he will win against a giant Malaysian political organisation which had been in power for more than half a century since independence. The first man to even break the record when people expected Barisan will still not be defeated. Plus, all the brilliant scholars, politicians, and businessmen are behind him and are with him. That's an astounding feat for a man to do that. That's why Malaysians trust the man so much. They see him as a man who can change Malaysia for the better. This is actually the first in a very long time where I see people are very united and don't complain much in trying to help the government to build back Malaysia. i always thought Malaysians had lost their patriotic spirits a long time ago but I guess it's just that that spirit needs to be reawakened. Barisan's version of patriotism had always been superficial and lacklustred, that's why people are not feeling it. Now, we all feel refreshed and ready for a new beginning. I'm really happy with the new Malaysia.

Well said! Totally agree!
Well said..tq very much!
Well said Tun M you are saying all the right things.
was never a fan of dr m. but i cannot argue against his track record. 5 winning elections then retirement and back again! omg

I think you should give a lot of credit to Anwar and his wife for Mahatir's win ... the ground was already softened in the last few years since the opposition had the popular vote win in the last election ...even without Dr M, the opposition will win although Dr M did make the winning margin bigger ... M merely stepped into a convenient situation by taking advantage of the political tide to switch sides at the right moment ...
88feji I concur with your facts, but sentiments can be explained only to be met with controversy.
Tun Dr. Mahathir switched sides is it because of saving himself or he accepts that the backlash he had caused for the country and seek to rectify?
Tun M was wrong.. Najib is not on same law.. he basically modify the law to suit him.. which is worse... imagine had we lose the election on 9th May, he would have done more damage
HSR is really a luxury item that Malaysia cannot afford at this time. They need to fix their house off rot and do not need a showpiece at the moment. This is good for Singaporeans as well. Save us the money. Even though it could rough up the plans of the people with interest in jurong estate
As the condition of malaysia is in right now,the HSR would be mostly used by capitalist and most of malaysian citizen cant afford the ticket,in my point of view i say that the is not in the nearest time and will prove to be a burden , future casualties,repairs and somewhat unfortunate events is possible but Malaysia's economic and financial status is in a pretty bad conditition right now,so yeah Tun m might as cancel the project
Feel kinda frustrated that they would scrap HSR project, but if it's for the best of Malaysia. Then let's us hope for the best.
Bravo bravo Mr Mahathir A Real HERO, Wish YOU Long live with quite a sound health.... from Bangladesh....
Don't play play! Yay! He's back!
Jangan main main XD
This corruppted system is legacy from his era, so he should clean it as clean as possible
graxie89 wise word bro... but i think we should give him a chance to fix it... yup... its hard... but yeah... better do something than nothing... hopefully thing will getting better.... hurmm...
His era?? Those rules of law were implemented long before during the first prime minister. It was the brittish systems mate.
frid abu.b read about 1988 constitutional crisis, the end of independent of the judicial branches
graxie89 a lot of those policies were implemented by the grand ol' Brits when they went around imposing their ways on others.
Hes tryna finished what he started. That responsibility and guilt upon his legacy
Tun Mahathir - Malaysia Truly Asian Tiger. Despite of his age, his canines and claws are sharp as ever.
Bagi lah pemimpin hebat macam mana pun, kebodohan rakyat takkan boleh diubah.
Other countries should truly use this as case study on how to clean up corruption. Respect! And true people with odds stacked upon such as dirty tricks by previous regime to make voting day on Wednesday without holiday to try to dissuade people from voting. Amazingly over 80% turnout!
He ended up canceling two-thirds of Chinese investment in Malaysia, saving the country 20+ billion USD. The rest is suspended with renegotiations suppose to take place.
Dr, Mahatir is a very astute man, I am impressed at his viSIon and candor.
With a wiser, expansive, experienced, visionary leader like him, i really dont mind for him to be authoritarian, again and again and again. He gets things done, and the people and nation benefited. Why not?!
tippy114, we all want the high speed railway. But with 1 trillion debt and u still wanna spend another 50 billion close to 70 billion?where do u wanna get the money? Borrow again and accumulate more interest? Its a financial common sense...speaking about examining our accounting...Focus on clean and efficient governance, improve the economy then u wanna build anything u want, do it.
tippy114, ok, you are right. Consider this: USA has so many mega successful corporations such as FB, Google, Yahoo, Pepsi, Coke, Apple, billion dollars film industry-Hollywood, Hotel Chains around the world, billion dollars corporations in Silicon Valley which contribute tremendously to their revenue. Even profited from wars around the world and other joint-joint-ventured business, 1st class facilities, more than 5000 educational institutions, highly ranked as well and generated billion as well - attracted million students and high skilled immigrants from all over the world. The list just go on.... they can afford it. As they spent much, they earned much.
tippy114, really? Where are u from? Perhaps comparing with your country would be more realistic?
tippy114, why silly? At least we can compare apple to apple on countries that have the same economic model. Another question u can ask is, why dont every country in the world borrow 16 trillion dollars from the world bank/IMF/whatever to emulate US economic model? Then everyone can have high speed railway.
"Machinery in the governant are corrupted" ni la kot ramai yg kena pecat. Ramai yg makan rasuah. Bad Bakteria = rasuah
Every line Mr Mahathir says has sth to learn. And I can see one more thing. Value of honesty. Today he can keep his head high and blame a corrupt as corrupt for the wrong doing, cause he is honest. All can learn that. It's not corrupt money, it's honesty that has the power to rule. Downfall of Najib and Mr Mahathir becoming prime minister is the live proof.
He's a genious becuase he did the opposite of what the IMF and wallstreet wanted and came out successful when they said he was going to fail.
Long Live Mahathir !!! Reformasi!
Instead of HSR, why not use the existing electric, double-track system and just buy faster trains. Have 2 services - 1 slow train and another fast train like in Europe. Manage KTM properly with efficiency and good service. If unable to manage, just copy France or Switzerland or Italy which have fantastic, efficient, yet simple rail services criss-crossing their countries.
Whats going on in Italy's elections right now?
The hard drive has been corrupted on the computer. Therefore it needs to be restore to factory settings.
Sad when PROTON is no longer Malaysian car's brand, because Nqjib sold the company to the China's company 😔
Why cant we for once ,do the right thing to save the country and future generation?.It would be a painful transition at the beginning , but it will benefit the country.
60 years of one dominant party rule and racialist policies corrupted the government machinery and people. Mahathir saw that, and he has come back to correct it. Hidup Tun! Hidup Malaysia!
The ambition is Lenin' s will, that enulf buffle u for a while...
Our legend comeback. The brave of asian
And y does M need a name tag?
Long live, great man.
Hope power does not corrupt again and he returns to his kleptocracy of 22 years.
Once upon a time he did the same things to malaysia. Pot calling the kettle black.it is really an international disgrace. He had biullet proofed skin.
Mahathir is d man.he got his point of view.
Corruption existed since dr m govt.
We cant stop corruption ,its a virus and will always spread
he's back to kill the monster he once created.
thats right. thats right mahathir!!!!
This chap is known as Mr 10%.
He just has to come back and get his share.
Even if a 92 year old leader who made his country to modernisation said that Trump is just crappy, Trump is confirmed to be crappy.
Its always been corrupt. But now it is worse thn ever.
I wonder what his view on capitalism is... HSR won’t “make you money”?
Many have accused Dr M for being the champion of corruption, including Lim Guan Eng, Lim Kiat Siang and many more. So the champion is going after a small fish in comparison to the high standards of Dr M, and those who called him champion have decided to join in the party. This is politics.
PH WON, BN lost...
that's politic, lol... 😜😜😜
its not corruption, more like cronyism
Che Indah If corruptions were to persist at a controlled or minimised rate while we enjoying the fruit similar to the 1980s till mid 90s. What are we to complain? Yes we can do better to conceive a scenario similar to Japan's progression from recession we should start with our corrupted life style ingrained by our society.
Lim Kaiser ideals and reality are two separate things, but the general principle remains; we must strive for the ideals. too much leeway and 'tidak apa' attitude is what brought BN to its downfall. learn from history and our past mistakes.
Great hero .
My other role models:
J F K
Sardar Patel India
Netaji Subhas India
Lee Quan Yew Singapore
✨ 🤔👍Agreed.
This man has main character syndrome.... always must find himself at the centre of attention!! He held PM office for the 80s and 90s... what did he do to prevent corruption? He left behind a system that can be corrupted. If he was not part of the solution, he's probably part of the problem!
Trump changes his mind often but can not compare with Mahathir. He wanted to be Minister of Education for one day and the next day assign the position to someone else. That is super fast.
mahatir the political grand master of malaysian political chess.he will win so long he gets his share.the old umno and new umno were trained by him.he takes you back by saying he eats nasi lemak all the time.frankly he is the biggest malaysian crook.bringing the dirty crooks from old umno is his grand design.lge and the indian minister are merely wall flowers who will be kicked out and his malay delimma is actually the dellima of chinese and indians and sabahans.
Hahaha... don’t earn any money on high speed train? Really? 🤔
Government treasury has counted that it would take some 160 years to earn back the 110billion ringgit. With 100% full capacity everyday.
high speed train earn money, people complain the same when China make their own HSR now China is laughing; they have the longest HSR on the planet.
msafwan China has the population to make it profitable. A high speed to Singapore is waste .
I think he means "wont earn any money during my term, I know Im old". Still the same smart dr M as always. He wants to make a different legacy
LOL...what happened to to your WAWASAN 2020 ?
The elections that Mahathir won were achieved for the reason that people were still not wise to the lies of BN and not sufficiently politically mature, and because of race politics. Let us not also forget that Mahathir also made the statement that there would be trouble and conflict if UMNO/BN lost the election.
Please. Mahatir is corrupt af too. I was told that they call him Mr 10%
Headless Chicken shuhhhhh!!! shuhhhhhh!
Headless Chicken -- you are maybe a really HEADLESS Duffer and psycho and well wisher of Najib....
go find your head somewhere first before making a comment
M N Momen najib is just as fucked up lol.. tsk

Mahathir Wawasan 2020
2+2=3
Budaya Ketuanan UMNO.
An expert strategist is beyond the understanding of Mahathir, he is the old school.
what expert strategist??? who??? we have our TOP GUNS in the COUNCIL OF ELDERS!!!
No my freind....you got it all wrong
Mahathir is beyond the understanding of the so called expert strategists
He is not old school...he gets things done to the detriment of his critics
Old school? Mahathir? Are you an idiot?
relying on economist, political analyst and "Expert Strategist", is not a very wise way for political decisions,, we are eastern country we follow eastern politics unlike China the so called asian world power but inflicted with western disease of dominating.
Long live .. Tun M..
