KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 — Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad drove himself around Klang Valley this morning to personally inspect developments in the city, according to a political blogger.

Blogger Firdaus Abdullah posted a video of the prime minister, who is known to drive himself around Putrajaya, behind the wheel of what appeared to be a Proton Perdana.


“Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad driving himself to monitor the latest developments around Kuala Lumpur this morning.

“Some ask where Dr Mahathir gets overflowing energy at 93 years old. May God always protect this statesman,” he wrote.


Dr Mahathir is a known car enthusiast and is often eager to climb behind the steering wheels of vehicles during launches and demonstrations.

During his time as the fourth prime minister, he also developed a reputation for visiting public locations almost incognito and with only a small security detail visibly present but at a distance.
