My dad isn’t one to work for recognition, says Marina


PETALING JAYA: While a petition lobbying for Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize has received more than 40,000 signatures on the day that it was launched, his daughter has said that the Prime Minister is not one who expects to be awarded for his efforts.

“It was really nice of them to do that (petition) but knowing my father, he is not a person who works hard for recognition or an award. So I don’t know what to say,” said Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir (pic).
