On July 10, 2025, Malaysia’s longest-serving prime minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, turns 100 — yet he remains preoccupied with the same mission he outlined more than 50 years ago: addressing the “Malay Dilemma.” Shannon Teoh, Malaysia Bureau Chief at The Straits Times, joins Lynlee Foo to reflect on his centenary interview with Dr Mahathir, sharing what the statesman is really like at 100, his regrets about leaving office too soon, and why he still believes uniting and uplifting the Malay community is Malaysia’s unfinished business.
