No-holds-barred session: Khairy (middle) and Shahril (right) interviewing Dr Mahathir on the Keluar Sekejap podcast.

PETALING JAYA: Khairy Jamaluddin’s podcast Keluar Sekejap has become recommended listening, but few could have predicted that the former health minister would bring on a long-time nemesis.

In a conversation that was more than a decade in the making, the former Umno Youth chief came face-to-face with former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, a man who was a thorn in Khairy’s side and who had fuelled the downfall of the latter’s father-in-law, ex-prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
