I think if I were there, answering the questions based on facts wouldn’t be a problem for me but controlling my emotions with some of these offensive questions would be the bigger challenge. Tun Mahathir is superb for smiling throughout the interview. He’s done this before and it is at the tip of his finger. The guy is a political giant after all.

The interviewer got tired Tun did not!

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad is a charismatic leader..a legend..

Mannn..at 93 he still dares to be on hardtalk..salute you sir!!!

Diamond of Malaya. The one and only Tun dr mahathir bin mohammad. 🇲🇾 🇲🇾 🇲🇾

She tried so hard to get him to admit to guilt etc but no Dr M is not easily manipulated. He handled the interview so well and he has the courage to say what he believes and what is true. He also did not throw a tant and storm off. Proud of my PM

TM dah blh bca pe soalan yg akan d tnye. No sangkot2. Smooth je jawapan nya. Wat a PM. Cool 93yrs old men . 🇲🇾 👍👏👏👏. WELL DONE.

The world will remember tun Dr .Mahathir Mohammad , Asian Tiger.

Im malaysian,we all here love Mahathir. :)

Haha.. Classic Tun. He may be 93, but he's still able to hold his own in interviews like this. Brilliant.

Najib would hav gone into seizure in here. Well done PM. We ❤ u.

Tun Mahathir keep smile. Loved

Ini baru bossku

What Dr. Mahathir has said no countries in this World is free of corruptions. What he has said is true to all Politicians, and no deny about it.

Memang hidung hooked pun! Hebat Tun👍

I'm proud to have a brave Prime Minister like Tun Mahathir.

This interviewer is 10x more vicious than Mary Ann(najib interviewer), and yet Dr.M just swam through it easily. If its Najib he would jump out of this interview saying "You all bastards are not being fair to me!..."

Really and very clever an astonishing 93 years old

The last one was legit straight to the face😂

I liked Tun becouse he stick to his word about Anuar Ibrahim.We love u Tun

Love Atok M. one of most charismatic leader ever in Malaysia.

Love how he answred the question from 5:36 & 8:15 & 12:26

aku salute btol tun ni. dia punya replies pantas btol. cmna la otak dia function. steady la tun. hopefully aku dah tua pun mantap cmni. if only aku ada title Dr. depan nama...tun mmg smart, berani, steady n sempoi. still melayu ada tokoh utk dicontohi.

bangga la jd org kedah.. rumh dkt2 rumh mahathir je.. lebih kurg 1KM dri rumh kelahiran mahathir

well said PM of Malaysia.

"Hook nose" is becoming an issue? How abt "fat nose".... This is so funny... 🤣🤣😂😂

Tun M so SMART, BRILLIANT!

7:36 that cute chuckles tho 😂 Don't worry guys, Tun M knows who he's dealing with. Being a 93 y/o pm and years of experience in this field made him know enough on how to handle interviewer like this.

I am not a fan of mahathir but I really admire him.. I cannot explain why.

Same questions since 20 yrs ago. Nver change their way. Respect dr mahathier

You develop the country Prime minister Mahathir

We are proud of you Tun M...wonder how would it turn out if Najib , Ahmad Maslan or Omar is being interview by BBC....well most probably only 3 kinds of answers or respond..." I assume" ,"I'm not aware of "and the most famous " I was not informed".

5years passed but he still consistent with his principal.

May God give the best health to Mahathir mohamad

great respect to our prime minister dr.m hsndled the interview with powerfull knowledgeable.. reezam jamaludin

pre-1997, anwar and tun were working together fine. there was no tussle until in 1997, during the financial crisis, anwar could not come up with a better solution than to follow what other asian countries were doing, and that was to accept the imf loan. part of the imf condition was, no companies in trouble shall be given loans. they must be left to go bankrupt. tun rejected imf offer and gave loans to the companies in trouble becos of the sudden drop in the value of our ringgit. anwar was furious and accused tun of cronyism for saving the CEOs. he also accused tun of giving contracts to his cronies. but he did not mentions the thousands of contracts given out by tenders. he only pointed at the few companies which received huge contracts to create public outrage. during that time, he was already being charged for sodomy and abuse of power. first of all, if the big companies were to go bankrupt overnight, who will suffer the most? the rich CEO? no. it is the thousands of workers and their families who will suffer. tun saw the crisis as a temporary problem that did not need to sacrifice so many companies and let its employees suffer. so he saved as many of them as he could by giving them loans. he stopped mega projects and cut govt spending. fyi, the loans, or 'bailouts' have to be repaid with assets as collateral. this was not mentioned at all to make the loans looked as if they were given out for free, to make it looked like tun misused public funds. secondly, if you are the pm and you wanted the infrastructure project to be successful, who will you give the contracts to? to unknown companies who may take the bank loans and disappear? or do you give it to established companies with good track records? well, tun chose the established companies to assure of its success, but he was accused of giving the projects to his cronies.

the oldest PM, AND the coolest.. Love U Tun M.

I know this is Hard talk but this woman are not focusing into new economic for Malaysia instead of that she is accused Dato Mahathir maybe she should bloody study a night before being bloody rude and she only read she is not Malaysian!!!!Stay strong PM well answered!!!Chinese. .malay. Indian. ..and few other we are still together.

This moderator is not fit to interview this man

Cool has a new meaning...Mahathir

The father of Malaysia (reformed)

Very clever political man,his response acceptable no one can refuse

This is how you handle interview. Answer confidently. Betul tak betul itu belakang cerita. But don't lah whine "you are not being fair to me...." boo hoo. Tun Mahathir is no angel, but he's a whole different league compared to Najib or any other Malay leaders for that matter.

even Sudanese they are welcome..she laughs...

Tun was in a class of his own.

🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 love Dr. Mahathir

7:36 that cute chuckles tho 😂 Don't worry guys, Tun M knows who he's dealing with. 93 years of experience in this field made him know enough on how to handle interviewer like this.

Everytime Tun Mahathir talked about the holocaust, any foreign interviewer avoiding to the fact..

7:36 that laugh he made haha

I see charismatic this man

'Sorry , no entry' 😂

Najib dont have the even the guts to be interview by HARD TALK with AL Jeeza also walk out

World 🌎 class 👍

what counts knowledge and experience and trustworthy. We want a good government...tuns is better than previous and hope tun leave a legacy with good leaders

بِسْــــــــــــــمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِالرَّحِيْــــــــــــــمِ. 🏳🇹🇭🇲🇾🇲🇨🇧🇳🇵🇭🇻🇳🇯🇵🏴 Stand for Palestine 🇵🇸

Zeinab Badawi is a well read and hard working journalist who done her homework.

if Najib were here(BbcHT).he will saying "I don't know".."in my view"."it was the propaganda to insult my political carrier"..he will denied denied and denying then he will said to her.."if you want to ask me about the economic,i will sitdown!" if not I'll go!

he is excellent

Next Level Tun.Dr.Mahathir ...

I wonder, will Malaysian going to get another great PM who loves his country and is not afraid to speak fact as it is. Because it had been going downhill for our country since he stepped down in 2003.

this is hardtalk indeed... but Tun just keep smiled.... nice tun!!

Hardtalk really ! Take care of the real issues within Britain and the Brexit mess. How about that ?? Other countries, like Malaysia are actually making a real change for the benefit of the people. Britain and its Govt has a lot to learn from a humble countrt like Malaysia. Truly !

M : it wasn't me N : you're not being fair to me. If you know wht I'm sayin.

some of the conversation is being cut down, talk about the power of china in south east sea

Im a Malay. And I wouldnt care if people say my nose is fat. Lol

kenapa perlu orang luar nak campurtangan urusan pemerintahan negara kita sedanglan negara mereka sendiri up set down...

"it is necessary for me to work with Anwar to ousted Najib".

15:10 She's questioning about our races now? Lmao read Malaysia's history lady, so far we have more than one races in our country and we live in harmony for years. The issue regarding any races only surface when it come to anything related to politic. They used this to fight against our previous government but beg you pardon after we became independence, there're lots of action made to bring all of the three main races Malay, Indian and Chinese together. Indian and Chinese people may origins from other country but they were there when we fight for our freedom and achieve independence so we accept them and they also participate in the governance of Malaysia since then. 60 years the government voted which is the party who unites us all until now that we recently have a severe corruption issue that Malaysian decided it's time to change the government. We don't want anymore of that in our country. So that's called democracy. We chose who we trust in leading our country towards better future. And when I meant we, is us all Malaysian no matter what races you are. So do me a favor lady, stop sticking your nose into other people country if you didn't know shit about them.

不要打断首相的话题。老人家脾气很好。好首相 赞👍🏻

Dr M is definitely more skillful than Mr Najib

Legend is came back doctor m hospital politicaly..

Tun Dr Mahathir lobbied for Najib Razak to be the Prime Minister before Abdullah Badawi stepped down as the 5th Prime Minister. The other candidate is the current Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. Dr Mahathir felt indebted to lobby for Najib Razak . Najib Razak's father Tun Abdul Razak the 2nd Prime Minister was the one who brought Dr Mahathir back to UMNO, after being sacked by Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's first Prime Minister.

The interviewer is acting ridiculous, I've seen the dialogue between them and all i can say is, that wasn't a dialogue, it's a debate. If you're not interested in listening the answer at the first place then don't ask any. What a pathetic way of asking questions to anyone.

Yikes that cut smh

He keep repeating the same answers to the same questions

🚑🚑Doctor very most powerfull influential in the world..

Should have nailed this guy more for his Asian Values hypocrisy and ruthless mistreatment of Anwar Ibrahim.

the prime talk system correctly as politician

Maybe this girl being paid by najib😂 seeking for Prime minister mahathir mohamad guilt..and just smile answer whatever she ask..that the kind of prime minister should talk..not pike najib razak just assumed averything said the money was given from arab prince😂😂

She thinks she is so smart but this is Mahathir Mohammad, different league altogether...

DULU YANG TULIS LOVE LOVE LOVE MAHATHIR....SEKARANG NOV 2019 BODO BODO BODO NYAYUK NYAYUK MAHATHIR... ZAMAN DAH BERUBAH... TAPI UMNO MASIH SAYANG TUN MAHATHIR

The problem are simple. The answer is jealously. Would never be end

This interviewer talks too much.

She is not good in asking questions real hard on him like putting every blame on mahathir

Tun M had promised Anwar that he be passed the baton of Prime Ministership ?

Old Fox Mahathir is answering an interview like a kitchen helper.

Once, during his tenure, the judges and prosecutors can be bought just like we buy groceries off from the racks in the supermarket. It was the late Ustaz Fadhil Noor ex-president of the then PAS who supplicated: “May Allah prolong his age for him to see what he had done to the system.” Now he’s making atonement to amend the wrongs that he did to the system before his time to leave this world approaches.

😊

If the MF najis, he will say, your question not fair to me. Najis the bugis warrior will run away. Lari cepat.

....

After a couple of years,Najeeb will be sit the same mahatheer seat and talk well bout corruption on past years...

While we need to listen to answers, here we listen more to long questions than long answers. Haih.

Not at lky level..

Tak ada pun macam najib

Najib dulu bbc invite for interview pun tak berani bro, hahaahah
