KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia’s Mahathir Mohamad, the world’s oldest serving premier, said on Tuesday it would be a good idea for the world’s youngest prime minister, Finland’s Sanna Marin, to ask “old people” for their advice. Marin, 34, was the sole candidate for her government’s top post after the resignation of Antti Rinne following a declaration of no confidence in him by a party in Finland’s ruling coalition.
“While we believe in the idealism of young people, it is important also for them to consider the experience of the old people,” Mahathir, 94, told Reuters in an interview.Marin has had a swift rise in Finnish politics since becoming head of the city council of her industrial hometown of Tampere at the age of 27. She will take over in the middle of a 3-day wave of strikes, which will halt production at some of Finland’s largest companies from Monday.
Mahathir led the Malaysian opposition to an unprecedented election win last May. It is his second stint as Malaysia’s premier, a post he previously held for 22 years from 1981 to 2003.
Hmmm yes we can learn from history. Struggle to see how older generations are dept in knowledge about blockchain, social media and renewables
BS! She will do better following her own criteria. She is just brilliant. Look where we are now thanks to your 'wise advice'
Ask him about his anti semitism, ask him about his hook nose comments. There's probably a reason he has served so long...
No need to ask Mahathir Mohamad. She could ask Anwar Ibrahim anwaribrahim. His experience is deeper than Mahathir's...
Cause they’ve done such a great job
nah, old people had their time. We need new solutions not old dogmas from a bygone era.
LMAO
Mahatir is not a boomer. He is part of the generation before the generation before them
bernamadotcom She said you must be kidding to that old man..We don't receive advise from racist or underminers..Thank you..but No thank you..
bernamadotcom Dont trust that old man
Ok boomer
bernamadotcom Dont do that . I repeat , DONT !
Okay boomer.
No. That’s bad advice, coincidentally
I hope not... 😁😁😁
And they will recount to you frivolous 'advise' that never worked for them either!
When solving problems, it's important to follow the advice of the people who caused them in the first place.
With age comes wisdom
did she say ok boomer?
OkBoomer
That's possible only if old people are honest, trustworthy and have wisdom. The same could not be said about old politicians who are vindictive, dishonest and untrustworthy.
Yes please do that. If you are poor, he'll advise you to stop being lazy and merely expecting handouts from the government.
Ok then I ask Pehin Sri..how to get rich..😉
Thanks but no, thanks. Ya'll are the reasons why we are where we are.
Consult Those Who Are Experiencing On The Earth Instead Of Being Experienced By The Earth. Life Is Fruitless Without Consciousness Even Hundred Years Of Age. Avoid Ignoring Ignorance Of Oneself As Ignoramus Awoke From Ignorance
Age, more than not, has nothing to do with it. Character, though, does and Mahathir is not the sort of person from whom I'd seek advice on any matter.
Don't take him seriously. This guy is suffering from paranoia.
Millies won't listen they invented the wheel
Actually please don’t. The ‘old people’ are responsible for many of our problems and they don’t seem to have any answers.
Listen to the young, the old are the ones that screwed things up.
Mahathir Mohamad struggled to build his country very smart political man
You do that by using Ask Jeeves right?
How do I most efficiently multiplex 2 dozen servos grandad? Yea sure I can help you log into facebook, just help me design this schematic first. Honestly young people should avoid asking old people for advice 9/10, they all say dumb shit like stay in school anyways.
ok boomer
