VETERAN politician Dr Mahathir Mohamad has become the world’s oldest leader, following Pakatan Harapan’s shocking victory in the 14th general election, which ended Barisan Nasional’s 60 years of rule.
The 92-year-old, whose first turn as prime minister was from 1981 to 2003, led PH to the polls win, the first by an opposition bloc since Malaysia’s independence.
It was a triumphant return to front-line politics for Dr Mahathir. – May 28, 2018.
