“You must remember that not so very long ago, that China was a developing country with very poor capacity to produce anything. “Today, they can send a satellite to the moon. I saw their fighter planes flying in formation perfectly, they can build their own fighter planes. Why?“The reason is they chased after this objective to be a fully-developed country, a rich country which nobody can threaten or look down upon. So we can do the same if we follow China,” Dr Mahathir added.
During the brief question-and-answer session, Dr Mahathir shared the stage with Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman and Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali. He related how he re-read an entire textbook at least 10 times and how it had resulted in him topping an examination in a subject in his first year, expressing his belief that Malaysia could also be a developed nation if its citizens work hard.
