Dr M’s birthday wish for Najib: Enjoy retirement

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak turned 62 on Thursday, but for former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad, he had hoped that it would be the last time the former celebrates his birthday while in office.

“I hope he retires pleasantly and enjoys retirement,” said Mahathir, when approached by reporters last night.

Mahathir said this after his birthday party which was organised by Berjaya Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. Mahathir turned 90 on July 10.

On Putrajaya’s decision to suspend the printing license for The Edge Financial Daily and The Edge Weekly, Mahathir sarcastically said that he agreed with the move.

“Of course we have to censor The Edge. Also, all my friends are now targets. I don’t know why,” he said before leaving.

The two influential newspapers were suspended for three months for allegedly publishing material detrimental to public order.
