Dr Mahathir holds the record as Malaysia's longest-serving prime minister. He is the only statesman who has led the administration in two separate tenures, from 1981 to 2003 and from 2018 to 2020.
He has also been cited as the factor that led to the success of Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the 2018 general election to wrest Putrajaya from Barisan Nasional (BN).
