NEW YORK (Sept 27): Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he would bow out as prime minister before the next general election.
The 94-year-old Malaysian prime minister came into power for the second time following his Pakatan Harapan coalition's victory in the May 2018 general election.
“I promise that I would step down before the next election and give way to another candidate. So I may have at the most three years perhaps,” he said at a dialogue held at the Council on Foreign Relations here on Thursday.
During those three years, Dr Mahathir said that he needed to accomplish a few things.
He is in town for the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
The prime minister said work was very tough now and that he was currently working 18 hours a day.
“This is because I don’t have much time,” said the Pakatan Harapan chairman who is renowned for being a hardworking individual.

WHAT A SWING FROM BEING AN EXEMPLARY MODEL TO ONE TO BE AVOIDED (BEFORE AND AFTER HIS 22 YEARS OF MISMANAGEMENT)
In the 1980s, when I was a student in the US, whenever I met Muslim students from other countries they would look up to Malaysia, saying we were the model to follow because, in those days, Malaysia was able to combine religiosity with modernisation. Recently, in the last 10 years or so, I’m getting the opposite reaction.“People are saying, ‘Look at Malaysia; this is what happens when you mix religion with politics. You’re going to be extremists, Malaysia is now the model to be avoided. (Prof. Syed Farid, an expert in SOCIOLOGY)

How to expect leaders from other countries to respect a twist and turn person of a small country? They respect LKY who is really devoted he himself wholeheartedly for the interest of the country.

TunM, don't over stay your welcome.
Should know how to stop, what would be the world perception if PM age over 95 years old ??...is nobody capable to lead this country?? even how hard you try to prevent Anwar from leading this nation..you definitely wont have that strength and energy to prevent it from happening at the age of 95, or 98. You action, in fact will bring disaster when Pas got hands in running this nation with umno (again)..think about it la. enough is enough.
Let the nature runs it course, for future of malaysia in the hands of future generation.

end of this year..i will clear my position..coz there would be instability in malaysia politics due to mahathir refusal to honour his promise. DAP + amanah + anwar PKR would raise white flage... only BERSATU + splinter Azmin PKR MP will support mahathir, but no way PAS+ UMNO would back him up in Parliment.
PAS+UMNO would take that opportunity to table no-confidence vote against Mahathir..and Parlimen kena bubar.
2019-09-28 22:06
today's government is Mahathir Government NOT PH at all !!.. as all the policies and decision were made according to Mahathir likes..not really according to original PKR-DAP-Amanah vision..
I really hope form now on, malaysian realize that this is Mahathir Government (GM), don't blame it to PH government..its obvious la

Well, he knows he failed in leading the nation to excellence and he is still failing. Therefore, he is asking for extension. He knows he have created a nation of PARASITES.He is the most stupidest leader. He may wish for extension, but will the DIVINE allow his extension on earth?

TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN was visionary when he expelled this RACIST(TUN Mahatir) from UMNO. However, Razak being a racist himself, relisted him in UMNO. For 50 years, we have not "progressed".
