KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has extended well-wishes to former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on the occasion of his 100th birthday.
In a Facebook post today, Anwar also described Dr Mahathir’s healthy lifestyle and lifelong service as an example to a nation that is growing older.
“Azizah (Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail) and I sincerely pray that Tun continues to be blessed with well-being, peace of mind and physical strength to live a meaningful life.
“His healthy lifestyle and unwavering service remain an example for a nation that is ageing, yet still full of hope. May Allah SWT continue to bless Tun, Insya-Allah,” he said.
