HARDtalk’s Zeinab Badawi speaks to the world’s oldest head of
government, Malaysia's Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad. He came
back to office in May after election victory against his own
former ruling coalition. The country has been mired in
allegations of corruption swirling around the previous
government, which have dented confidence at home and abroad.
First time round, he was Prime Minister for more than 20
consecutive years until 2003. Can Mahathir Mohamad leave his own
chequered past behind and lead Malaysia to a brighter future?
Some people might find opinions expressed toward the end of the
interview offensive.
