KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has doubts about Malaysia achieving a developed nation status by 2020.
"By 2020, I think we will have the per capita income, but we will not be a developed country," said Dr Mahathir at the World Bloggers and Social Media Summit here on Thursday.
"I made the mistake in 1991 when I launched vision 2020, where I merely called for Malaysia to become a developed nation by 2020, and I didn't explain what a developed nation is," he said to a crowded hall at Berjaya Times Square Hotel.
