Mahathir being Mahathir, I doubt he would leave Muhyiddin and Najib with the last laugh.”Born in 1925 when the Malay Pensinsula was still ruled by Britain, Mahathir studied medicine and became a physician. During his first 22 years in office, Mahathir worked hard to put Malaysia on the world map. After Mahathir fired Anwar in 1998, Anwar spent the next six years in prison on convictions for abuse of power and sodomy.
