KUALA LUMPUR - Young children sporting striking resemblances to former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali, stole the spotlight at a costume contest marking the leader's 101st birthday. The "Cosplay Parade" event, part of the Mahathir 101: Piknik Legasi festivities in Taman Lagenda, only accepted entries for children, with 15 participants taking part.
Two boys donned the appearance of Mahathir, while 13 girls embodied Siti Hasmah's style. Judges Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir and Kak Yong selected the four-hour event's winners from the crowd. The contest drew more than 1,000 attendees, including a public picnic potluck, a podcast session featuring Mahathir, a coloring competition, exhibitions, and various vendors.
Mahathir, who served as Langkawi's member of parliament from 2018 to 2022, celebrated his birthday on July 10.
