Malaysia’s Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad made headlines and became the epitome of “age is not a factor” when he became the world’s oldest prime minister at the age 93. He will also go down in history as the fourth prime minister who reprised his role as the seventh prime minister of Malaysia after winning GE14.
He is the face of Malaysia Baru, inspiring many that it is never too late for change. With a political career spanning 70 years, the once Umno president later formed Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia in 2016. He has held numerous minister positions – Education, Trade and Industry, Defence, Home Affairs, and Finance.
