• HONORARY PRESIDENT’S OFFICE
TUN DR MAHATHIR
MOHAMAD TURNS 92
Our Honorary President turned 92 in 2017, and current as well
as former staff of Perdana Leadership Foundation gathered
together in July to celebrate Tun Dr Mahathir’s birthday, as
well as that of Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Hj Mohd Ali.
Turning 92 has not slowed Tun down. If anything, he seems
more energised! The winners of our Merdeka Photo Contest
found out for themselves just how spry Tun Mahathir still is
when he granted them a meeting in October to honour their
win in the contest. Tun Siti graciously joined the meeting and
medical student Ms Khairunnisa binti Izahar had a long chat
with one of the country’s earliest Malay women doctors.
In early Ramadhan, Tun Dr Mahathir and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah
hosted the PLF Buka Puasa for around 250 guests, and in
September, Al-Jazeera conducted an intensive week-long
interview with Tun Dr Mahathir to gather his thoughts on the
economy, nation-building, leadership, and politics.
