🇲🇾 Ex-PM Mahathir Mohamad: Malaysia 'will go to the dogs' | UpFront

- Malaysia's former prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, wants to "save Malaysia" and oust the country's current prime minister Najib Razak over claims that he mismanaged the economy, suppressed free speech and allegedly took hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes, all accusations Razak denies.
The "Save Malaysia" movement, led by Mahathir and made up of opposition leaders from across the political spectrum, is centred around a multimillion-dollar corruption scandal that alleges that nearly $700m found in Najib's personal bank accounts came from the state-funded 1Malaysia development fund. Najib, however, says the money was a campaign donation from Saudi Arabia that has since been returned.
Mahathir, who served as the country's prime minister for 22 years, says that Najib must "go" and that his "leadership undermines" Malaysia's institutions.
In this week's Headliner, Mehdi Hasan challenges Mahathir on his campaign to oust the current prime minister.
"He's gone off track," Mahathir says. "He has done a lot of things which are actually wrong, and as a result he has put the country in a very bad position."
Commenting on Malaysia's future, Mahathir adds, "If Najib is there, this country will go to the dogs."
In a wide-ranging interview, the former prime minister also discusses his political future, his legacy and his history of anti-Semitic remarks.

its an internal matter of Malaysia. But I love this guy, one of very few Muslims leaders who earned respect from muslims all around the world. Long live Mr. Mahatir and Malaysia. Respects from Pakistan
You are just as stupid as Mahathir. You can't even spelled his name correctly.
It was all Mahathir wrong doing. He is complaining now because Najib Razak reduce his share on the corruption funds. Najib Razak was Mahathir puppet after Anuar Ibrahim exposed Mahathir of corruption.
Rest is history
+Ricky Tan its not, okay..we love Dr Mahathir..I still feel proud as malaysian during his ruling...my life is more peaceful before
Dee Ijue
Mahathir will go to his grave regretting what he had done to Anuar Ibrahim and promoted N. Razak to be his successor.
Ricky Tan he is the hero of present Malaysia now!
Salute!
Andriy Law
All these mess are his creation. He put Anuar Ibrahim in jail with his false evidents and installed N. Razak as head of UMMO.
He will win this election and will need Anuar's party help to form Govt. Some deals must be done.
Haha this 91 years old man still have gutts! Proud of you Tun Dr.Mahathir!
Azman Syafri well said bro
Nah man, this old man obviously reading a scripts that's being type by his sideman every question been thrown to him
98 now!
mahathir has strong brain n mind
A rude presentor. Can you just let Dr Mahathir speaks and finish his words first? You got no manners by interupting him in the middle with you raised up your voices. You were really rude at that point. Please learn and practice yourself to be a good, polite and decent presentor or the Al-Jazeera will definetly kick you out one day.
mysha 1812 that how they work
indeed this presenter is very rude..looks idiotic
The presenter is polite and professional.
Rude presenter. Sucks
They dog
indonesian Love Mahathir Mohammad
The best friend of your ex president,suharto.mahathir claimed suharto as his 'big brother'.we are also brothers. Peace from malaysia
Singaporean respect mahathir as well.
We need more people of Aryan descent to make our region great again.
Malaysian start called indonesian "indon" when all malaysian medias are fully controled by mahathir..
Indonesians don't need to feel angry if we Malaysians called u guys 'indon' because to us, indon means Indonesians not more or less.
Long live Tun MAHATHIR !
GREETINGS FROM YEMEN
Love you Dr Mahathir Muhammad ♡♡♡from Pakistan
To think twice....
This guy is 91 years old and he is not challenged by every provocations made by the host.
He is actually 93.
@@yogagovin8998 95 🤗
From this we can deduct the standard of intelligence between the interviewer & Dr. M. Please Aljazeera... get somebody a lot smarter that this guy... I salute you Dr. M.
why must the presenter be so rude interrupting Tun M to explain his stand?
your first time watching medhi hassan's show?
+Muhammad Fadhli Dawek yes and may even be my last, i dont like his style of harassing his guest, that was so yesterday when simon cowell style of intimidating people was in
people tend to judge other people just based on first impression..
I like both of them..mehdi hasan is a great muslim debater. try to watch him more and you'll know his style. this is UpFront, just like BBC they've HardTalk, not just some typical news. every show has its style. I believe mahathir also knows the background of this show before agreed to be interviewed..
+riooooii i dont care who he is i just dont like any show which shows agression for the sake of rating, this guest is a highly respected statesman, even if you disregard that cant he be a bit courteous to an elderly 90 year old man?tun mahahir was not defensive in his replies at all why should he incite tension?
so its look like you love to watch shows that is scripted and being controlled by the goverment ? even if it is a lie ? being overwhelmingly polite with incredible ethics even when they are not talking the truth ? I love both of them. Mehdi is being really fair on asking the question towards Tun. Just keep in mind that this is not a RTM interview where they only ask bias question with no evidence.
together with Dr Mahathir Muhammad..
save malaysia
Salute . Tun..you are still have ummmph compare to ur age.
Still steady. Go ahead. Stand behind u. kick out Najib from the power.
I can't stand Mehdi way doing an interview. He is pushing Mahathir to admit all the unproven issues.
RetorikMalaya
He trying hard to made TDM looks stupid but a True Muslim, Malaysian and others that are intellectual knows what TDM have contributed to the World 👍🤣
the presenter is so rude.. you should let him answer first rather than attacking his answer... it's immature and disgusting journalism
is this your first time watching mehdi hassan's show?
i wonder how it would like if he is questioning najib..
+JigOku "Apply water to burnt area"
JigOku its not about fadhli dawek or 'scripted' ivs. It is about giving people time to talk and explain rather than keep asking and asking. Can u imagine when u tryna talk then the people just keep asking and asking, will you have time to explain things. Be more logical and respect others
JigOku no hate here btw
why is that guy yelling so much?
thats Mehdi Hassan. you probably dont know him.

He is 91 this year you know..
Azman Syafri Really? Wow!
Ruben Xavier yes.
I love Malaysians and Malaysia! May Allah protect forever!
ameen amigo!
Malaysia will prevail as better nation after the next election.
The presenter not clear about his role. This is an interview session and not debate. However I like to see how Tun respond. Calm and professional. Wise man indeed.
Interviewer is biased. Clearly he has his agenda and Dr. M should have chosen not to take the question and steer the discussion back on track. Dr.M looks amazingly healthy!
Malaysians are behind Dr Mahathir 100% and a lousy interviewer wont deter what we know.
Mahathir Mohamad is my PM for life!
sory to say..he will die a disgrace to Malaysia. the ruling party and the opposition will light birthday cakes when he dies. morons like you will cr.
+hijazzains You're entitled to your own opinion as much as I am entitled to mine.
hijazzains-millions of Malaysians will disagree with you, either you no nothing about malaysia or you are ungrateful Malaysian, what have YOU contributed to Malaysia??
+irishque halim I am not too sure who are you referring to but suffice for me to give you one anecdote. Some people prefer to see a glass half empty and some others prefer to see it as a glass half full. Neither are right nor wrong as it is about perception. Even if someone wanna refute my current statement, I'd welcome him with open arms and I'd leave with an agreement to disagree.
im replying to hijazzains comment-you can see prefix to my statement mentioning his name. My reply to him is to provide clarification as some people are either ignorant or defensive to see the actual facts
wow.. steady mahathir,..
harshest and most undignifying interview to any great man Aljazeera has to apologies about this
Tun i am with u always.... long live TUN M....
IF PEOPLE THINK OF WHAT TUN SAYS THERE IS SO MUCH TRUTH
we think of what the leaders don't say... its the hidden and the unsaid truth.
@@snow-n-gel shut up dumdumb
still applies today in 2023..
Lemah lembut tapi tegas! ..sumber inspirasi ku..tq tun! 😍
When the Ex-PM Mahathir said that Malaysia 'will go to the dog' confuses the many of the rural Malays and others who could not fully understand the 'haramic' use of the word 'dog'being applied to those people!
Tun Mahathir effortless and in charismatic way shoot down the al jazeera presenter question.we Malaysian always proud of you...
ironically even mehdi hassan is in trouble today with msnbc for speaking out against atrocities of Israel..
Presenter is salaried man.. yeah agreed. Newbie
You clearly did not know Hasan Mehdi well yet
pm mahater need no introduction..he is best of the best...i hope malaysia will forever be beautiful ..and it will be.
Love Mahathir Mohammad from germany.
Please let him speak!! Both of your agendas are simpatico and he is more powerful than you
Mehdi what is important to you nowdays, is how do you want to portray yourself as a tough journalist who is brave enough to ask imposing questions, but sadly you had loss your ways in wanting wanting to know the truth.
As for example when you ask him about his jews comment you could even rephrase yourself and ask him is he against every jews or those jews who is apart or supporting Zionism movement ? if he say all jews then we could say that he is in the wrong, BTW or perhaps you are too afraid to acknowledge and speak Zionism movement during your shows.
Even before the interview starts you already have your own narration and you are not interested to hear their answers first before judging them.
Mehdi don't a questions spitting machine.
Hi, I'm from the future. Dah tengok interview sadiq ke.. Tanya je..
In my opinion, the Interviewer/Presenter of the Program had accused our former great Prime Minister as an opportunist. He must be the biggest idiot. If Tun is considered opportunist , Tun would not voluntarily withdrew himself from politic. Today, he will still be the PM. Our great ex-PM HIMSELF GAVE WAY FOR OTHERS . See what is now happening to Malaysia, and the suffering of the rural poor, and the many government servants HAD been forcefully resigned and many were bankrupted as consequences of their inability to pay up their financial loans for their children's university/ college educations.
Najib please step down...we dont need a prime minister like u...
Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir has done a lot of great things for the country, no denial in that but he was the cause for our Malaysian racial divide. He was not just in the idea of developing the Malay race but undermining other races without obvious clues especially the Chinese in Malaysia. He believes the Malay race must always be the superior race despite what the leading party Barisan Nasional which claims that all race are equal.
Respect the Dr. Mahathir. Answered questions professionally with good composure. Otherwise applies on the interviewer which is an incompetent rank amateur.
"he mismanaged the economy, suppressed free speech and allegedly took hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes", have to agree on that, no doubt it is on a much bigger scale than you. A typical example of student out perform teacher!
That's my man Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
malaysia need a champion like mahathir...
Champion for one community only..the others get nothing.. that is mahathir.
congratulations, Mahathir. love from Bangladesh 💜💜💜
Who is the interviewer - he is not asking question - drilling tun to suits his ego - tun, in his old age, could not keep quiet seeing whats being done to the rakyat and the nation which he and his team had built and recieved credit and acclaimation from all over the world. Now he and most of the rakyat irrespective of race/background and political affilitiations are trying to safe Malaysia (including our future generations) from going to the slump. You are trying to undermine his and others holistic efforts to combat the corrupted and cruel regime. He has make some mistakes during his times - who would not - he is not a saint - you list out his mistakes, you would probrably get about 10; and now you list out his contributions to the nation and the rakyat you would probably get 5 to 10 times more. Looks what is happenning to our nation - the majority MPS (from BN) are being controlled, so are the Govt. Enforcement agencies (their leaders were changed with 'Yes Men"). New regulations being enforced to make sure nobody touches the 1MDB scandle.
Mr. imagine that you have built a beautiful sand castle, along came some roudies who started kicking and destroying it - what would you have done. Look, what is happening to our nation - surely you can see unless you are also intoxicated with dedak .
We are not talking about millions but billions - imagine that we have to pay, not the loan just the interest alone, for the next 20 or more years. So Mr. don't be a wet blancket - help those who persue this noble course to safe our nation
if Anwar Ibrahim be prime minister maybe I will move back to Malaysia
Eric Hui you're maybe right cuz i think he's the only one with the right thoughts in good politics
Probably its a good thing for u to stay put wherever it is u are dude...we don't subscribed to the doctrine that propagate sodomy, religious pluralism and immoral values here!
Go back to china
as a malaysian i think you should stand together with us even when the going gets tough. so u r only gonna standby us when it us easy or things fit your ideology? i wonder if u should be considered a citizen anyways....
but the chinese gave up so easily they started moved to another country since 2000
Malaysia should step down and not join the opposition with his further agenda for himself and his own family.
susah nak kalahkan mahathir.. dia boleh patahkan dan tepis semua soalan pedas dari wartawan ni. cara bertanya pon kasar. huh!
Well said Tun. We are proud of u. Put Malaysia back on the world map with honour and respect!!!
Respect dr mahathir
Mohd Ali Hafizudin Mohd Anuar ghhh
9:54 Dr Mahathir returned the final ‘nuke’ question by Mehdi in a very relaxed manner. What a genius! Mehdi won’t have any response even if he have the time. He’s been outplayed by Dr. Mahathir 😂
nobody know about juels.. b4 mahathir published to oic conference since jun 2003..he can elaborate about the juels crisis very clearly and properly. salute dr Mahathir. u can lead the Islamic world and also the world economic..
this is funny, tun mahathir now not prime minister, they said during his time, he is corupt. but now he not prime minister, why they not charge him for corruption.
#Respect Tun Mahathir
At his old age, he is still quick witted and responded to killer questions thrown at him with good replies. However, during his 22 years regime, there was a high level of corruption and flawed policies and dictatorship tactics..
+Teck Hoh Ng ...bro..no one is perfect..but dont steal 1billion us dollars from our money...
no matter what anyone says, its where he put Malaysia today counts nobody perfect ,everyone had their flaws and frauds. i still salute you sir
Teck Hoh Ng
Do you sticks to your comments now🙈🙉🙊🐵
He answered with calm.
Very impolite presenter for a man like Dr Mahathir there always different ways to adress your questions to different people
Pertama kali tengok pemberitaan antarabangsa ke? Haha. Melayu kalau tak bodoh tak sah

Hello mister, your comments itself shows your arrogant and stupidity. One of the many reason Muslim countries cannot unites is because people like you🤣
kita belajar sewaktu kita mendengar. dia tanya soalan tapi taknak mendengar. just chill bro. stupidity come in many ways. tak perlu bodohkan bangsa sendiri kalau adab pun kurang. bagi aku dia nak cover tempat dia cari makan je. dan tak perlu ulang2 komen.. buat sakit mata je.
lehin crowed "Kita belajar sewaktu kita mendengar"
??? Do you even have any idea what journalism is about? LOL. They've already subscribed to a political view within their own organization. Their purpose is to get guests to give answers that they want, not to learn. LOL
do tell me oh mahadhir, how u look so healthy even tho ur 90yo?
I’ll vote for you again Tun.
I respect mahatir mohammad and love malaysia so Much repsect from lebanon
Excellent replies from a senior citizen to a rude host.
klau Najib dah berpeluh kepala licin dia nak jawab soalan mcm tu
He is truely Malaysian leader must respect all time & past world's leader also. He always want the true to his country. Support you.
All bn same.. Even mahadir. The godfather of cheating
That right cos BN is ruling party gov. Now even worst ever. Like Evil of fraud & scam. How Malaysian think?
Mahathir has done a lot of mistakes in his time, this is true.
Some of those mistakes may be criminal, this is plausible.
Today, at 90-something years old, he is powerless, less influential, suffering the effects of his decisions in the past.
Even then, his protest to Dato' Najib Razak is very much a welcome thing, at least for some of us.
He is willing to stand up, fight this upstart suspect of criminal corruption acts, along with his many former enemies in the Opposition.
Mahathir's decision today have to be commended. He could have stayed down and enjoy life, but no.
Maybe he wants to correct some of his mistakes. We might never know.
well said.
if he is so SINCERE in fighting corruption he should start with his sons and friends like Vincent Tan, Ananda Krishnan,
dah dpt dedak la ni
al koy he is actually digging his own grave without realising he should shut his mouth and maintain his respect
Its was because he still worrying about his country from sick people like u guys who bear a lot of hatred.He was more patriotic then u lots who just shouting here without doing anything.Shame to my fellow malaysian who still have sick mentality.Putting hatred towards invidual more than fate of the country itself
during his era Malaysia was at our glory
This is why I love Mahathir. He sticks to his guns and he doesnt talk nonsense. He has knowlege and speak from his heart and mind. Revive Malaysia once again, Tun M. You are legendary. We support you all the way!
The interviewer is really rude. How could he interrupt someone? Learn to respect!
We, Malaysian love Dr Mahathir very much. Long live Mahathir.!
Dear presentor, in the future please show your respect especially when talking to someone like Tun Dr Mahathir Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Giving out my respect on how well Tun M handled this interview💙💪
Smart answer. The true hero. 😎
respect u dr M
Very rude presenter, am wondering how AJ can hire him
Let people talk first!!!
You are the only man in Malaysia who know how this issue very thoroughly
Saya sokong tun 200% please lead Malaysia back to development 😢
And that’s what he did. He waited and completed in this election.
Oh my leader dr Mahathir, i love & respect you from the very core of my heart. much love for you from Bangladesh......
With such line of questioning, I starts to confuse whether am I watching at Al Jazeera channel or at any western mainstream media.
at least , AJ give Mahathir chance to explain and he accept it. I challenge Mehdi (AJ) to challenge Najib 😁
meh..jibby will be silent and buat bodo je like always..no word can challenge his kebal..not even from madey
smsmurni
You must be joking
This is what I love Tun! He's so ingenuous voicing out his statements. Nothing to hide.
the best
love Tun M...bring back Malaysia in world map in positive way, not like now..
Mahathir should be blame. He create cronyism among UMNO. He thinks by helping UMNOPUTRAS they will help poor unfortunate kampong malays instead they got rich , living in a very luxurious lifestyle. All this got backfired. The poor malays are getting poorer day by day whereas the rich malays are living luxurious lifestyle. There no freedom of press. Media was control by one single party. Corruption was cover up. Where all these heading to, Malaysians are suffering due to high cost living.
#Respect the real Malaysia hero TunM
That host is annoyingly rude 😒
Mehdi is very professional 👍👍
The people have spoken...
In Malaysia the government cannot move any case in court unless the Attorney General agrees to it. So crooked people only have to have control over one person in order not to be charged. Are there any other countries with such a legal system?
Respect to Mahathir Mohammad
SUCH A RUDE PRESENTOR. NO MANNERS.
WORST PRESENTER.
Great man!
thumbs up to tun....see how tun is answering each n every question very clearly no hurm no stop to answer all the questions
1:40 so who's having the last laugh now? he did wait, went for election and won.
This man is alpha..VERY RARE A BREED .Watch boyz..How he stands his grown. I love it
We are proud to have a dedicated world leaders like mahathir he had made malaysian from an agrarian soceity to an industrialized country credit should be given to him.His visionary approach had made malaysia to be noted globally ,at 92 he is still concerned to his country.We needed an experienced man as to advised us,for 22years in power he is gifted with the ability to see where are we heading.
the presenter almost chokes when he talks but tun m looked very relaxed.
If this reporter lived in Malaysia, he would know how much of a "Democratic" country we are, hahaha
Mehdi Hasan is doing a great job. That is his way of questioning everyone. He wants transparency by the people he is interviewing. Tun Mahathir answered it so well and professionally, and i’m proud to have him as our PM!
Mahathir always wrong to choose someone..this is fact!.(malaysian not allowed to reply this)
Malaysian love dr.mahathir...
Mehdi Hasan has chosen the wrong profession. He should be a public prosecutor......
Everybody must go according to Mahathir.
