PM accorded rare honour at Al Azhar


UTUSAN MALAYSIA published a letter from a reader, Zukri Valenteno, who said local newspapers should have highlighted more of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s speech during his visit to the Al Azhar University in Cairo on Wednesday. 

He said what should be pointed out was that Dr Mahathir was one of the few, if not the only foreign leader, to have been given the honour of speaking at the university in the past 50 years.
