BBC HARDtalk - Mahathir Mohamad 

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.

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

The interviewer got tired Tun did not!

He is the reason why of me being proud to be a Malaysian! Love you so much Tun Dr. Mahathir! ❤

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

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

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

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

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!..."

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

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

Tun Mahathir keep smile. Loved

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.

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

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

Memang hidung hooked pun! Hebat Tun👍

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.

I see charismatic this man

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.

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

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

Really and very clever an astonishing 93 years old

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".

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

You develop the country Prime minister Mahathir

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

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

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.

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.

The most genius and brilliant human being gifted by Allah. Aamiin.

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.

This moderator is not fit to interview this man

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

Cool has a new meaning...Mahathir

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

The last one was legit straight to the face😂

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.

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

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

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

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.

well said PM of Malaysia.

May God give the best health to Mahathir mohamad

Tun M so SMART, BRILLIANT!

Dr M is definitely more skillful than Mr Najib

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

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!

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.

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

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

Tunm pemimpin yang tiada tandingan dimalaysia.Kaki kaki rasuah tidak suka den gan Tunm

World 🌎 class 👍

The father of Malaysia (reformed)

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

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

Tun was in a class of his own.

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

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.

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.

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 !

he is excellent

This interviewer talks too much.

🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 love Dr. Mahathir

7:36 that laugh he made haha

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

'Sorry , no entry' 😂

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

BBC HARDTALK INTERVIEW LOOOOOOOSER TO AN OLD MAN FROM MALAYSIA FOR THE 2ND TIME KOYAKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

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

*What a dishonest interview! Questions framed by another dishonest interviewer, Stephen Saker!*

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😂😂

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

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

2 years and step down.... Hahahahahahaha.... DsAI....listen to this

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.

Next Level Tun.Dr.Mahathir ...

不要打断首相的话题。老人家脾气很好。好首相 赞👍🏻

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

Hahahahaha he’s so cool on hardtalk najib kene interview dengan aljazeera pun dah gelabah nak lari

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

Tak ada pun macam najib

Legend is came back doctor m hospital politicaly..

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

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

He keep repeating the same answers to the same questions

Gee...the beers are cheap in Miri on Borneo island. Cheers 🍺

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

Hard talk I understand but her questions were more " Accusatory " then to demean the amount of Money stolen comparing it to designed hand bags as she tried to trap a man of wisdom with years of political knowledge & Justice is beyond her years of any experience let alone his own Country I admire Mahathir Mohamad's patience & integrity with this insulting interview

interviewer talk more than mahathir .....she not good at all

Why are the Jews so anti Gentile?

Old Indian blood Mahathir is one of the weathiest Prime Minister in the world. Look who is talking.

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

Lady u need to do more homework. i understand this is hard talks but i like hard questions but you failed to take into account how his najib was not in any trouble because the replaced the attorney general and the bunch of other inconsistencies with najib's claims

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