Former Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad expressed his astonishment over a series of global events, stating they were "strange" and largely beneficial to no one. He criticized numerous court cases where minor offenses resulted in punishment while those who committed grand theft were granted freedom and high-ranking positions.
Additionally, Mahathir accused world leaders of making baffling decisions, such as wars that caused thousands of deaths and property damage, including the arrest of a democratically elected leader and the subsequent outbreak of a larger conflict. He also voiced his disapproval of Israel's actions beyond its borders and the ongoing war and genocide in Gaza, which he estimated had claimed around 73,000 lives and left much of the territory in ruins.
The former leader questioned the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, arguing that it resulted in heavy casualties and the destruction of entire cities, with Ukraine unable to defeat Russia amidst the continuous loss of life.
