00:00 Popular leaders do not necessarily translate to competent ones.
00:06 This, former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said, is the reason why Malaysia is not doing so well,
00:14 as its elected leaders aren't competent in governing the country.
00:18 In an interview with Nikkei Asia, Mahathir said a nation will fail to grow and develop when there is poor governance.
00:26 However, he believed there is hope in the future as the government could be formed by younger leaders
00:32 who are better educated or qualified to run the country.
00:36 Speaking about China, Mahathir acknowledged that its president, Xi Jinping, was a very aggressive leader
00:43 but said Xi's tenure will eventually come to an end.
00:47 "Once this happens, other nations and regions can expect changes in China's policies to take place," he said.
