Mahathir will be turning 95 next month.
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 — Until just recently the world’s oldest government leader, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today said he is grateful to have lived to age 94 and still wants to be of service to his country — Malaysia.
“It is not something that I can get for myself just like that, but because I am able to live, I think that I should make use of my life usefully,” the 94-year old said, flashing his trademark grin. “Fear is always there but if you are going to worry about these things, you can’t be positive, you can’t contribute anything.
“It is unfortunate, you see that I always tell people, the knife is a useful thing. It can be used to carve beautiful objects, but also can be used to kill people.
