For a dude who never thought he’d make it past 75, Mahathir Mohamad is kicking it at 99. He’s still sharp as a tack, walking around on his own two feet, and even tearing it up on a Formula One racetrack in an Audi SUV last year. Pretty impressive for a guy who’s about to hit the big 1-0-0 in just over two months.
But Mahathir isn’t getting ahead of himself. He’s like, “Yo, I’m not 100 yet. Who knows if I’ll even get there.” He’s keeping it real, you know? Nothing in life is guaranteed.
For Malaysians, Mahathir has been a constant in a sea of changing politics. He’s like the OG of Malaysian politics, always there to drop some truth bombs or throw shade at his rivals. Even now, people still get all riled up at the mention of his name, despite his age creeping up on him.
As the saying goes, “We’ll all meet our maker one day, and Mahathir will probably show up at our funeral.” It’s like a running joke among Malaysians to compare things that are younger than Dr M. Superman? Came into the world in 1938. Sliced bread? Invented in 1928.
But hey, who’s counting, right? It’s all good. Just sit back and enjoy the ride with Mahathir Mohamad, the legend himself.
Not really sure why this matters, but… life is unpredictable, just like Mahathir’s journey to 100. Who knows what the future holds for this feisty nonagenarian. It’s a wild ride, that’s for sure.
