Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia's former prime minister who turned 100 in July 2025, has revealed that a fall in January left him unable to control his legs. The incident, which occurred at his residence on 6 January, caused a hip fracture and a head injury, and he was taken to the National Heart Institute in Kuala Lumpur for treatment. Doctors ruled out surgery given his age, and while Mahathir says he can now stand three months on, he described the condition as like having "no legs" — a significant setback for one of the world's longest-lived former heads of government.
