State polls: I’m ‘too old’ and ‘senile’ to contest, says Dr M

KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will sit out the upcoming state elections, saying that he is “too old” and “senile” to be contesting as a candidate.

“I’m quite old, I’m already senile,” said Dr Mahathir sarcastically during a press conference in Cheras here on Tuesday (June 6), which drew laughter from the crowd.
