Dr Mahathir dismisses advice for him to stay out of politics
PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has poured cold water on the suggestion by an economist that he should stay out of active politics.
In response to advice made by Prof Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Dr Mahathir said he does not need necessarily to follow the advice of the economist.
“That is his view. And I do not necessarily need to follow his wishes,” Dr Mahathir, who is now with Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra), told reporters here today.
At talk organised by the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Malaysia yesterday, Jomo said Dr Mahathir was “stubborn” and that the latter ignored his advice to take on a role as an elder statesman instead of remaining active in politics.

“And as usual, he ignored my advice,” Jomo was quoted as saying.
Dr Mahathir added that he would remain active in politics for the prosperity of the country.
“For the country, if people come to you for help, then you have to provide the assistance needed.
“I cannot tell them that I won’t be able to help them because I need to rest (retire from politics).
“If they are people who sought my advice, then I will do so,” he said.
