Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the 93-year-old who returned as premier last year after a stunning election victory, said last week he wanted the race to return. "The interest in Grand Prix is still very big and we want to bring back the race here, because it has stimulated many Malaysians to go into the automotive industry," the Star newspaper quoted him as saying

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says he will not see out a full term and will step aside after fixing problems his Pakatan Harapan coalition claims it inherited after forming the government exactly a year ago.

“We will make most of the corrections within a period of two years, and after that, I think the others will have less problems to face,” he told foreign press here yesterday. Pressed on whether he meant two years in power or from now, he replied: “I don’t know whether it is three years or two years, but I am an interim prime minister.”
