Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today implied that he was still fit to defend his Langkawi parliamentary seat despite some calling for his retirement due to advanced age.
He is 97 years old.
At a press conference held in Putrajaya today, Mahathir said he was not senile like others his age.
"Do I look senile to you? I can still answer your questions and queries posted by others.
"Of course, individuals at the age of 97 are usually senile. But do you see me as (one)?" he asked.
Mahathir's decision to contest in the forthcoming general election (GE15) was not well received and some had urged him to retire from politics.
