In a Time Magazine interview, Mahathir Mohamad criticized successors Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Najib Razak, and Anwar Ibrahim. Najib, now jailed for 1MDB-related corruption, believed wealth ensured untouchability, but Mahathir said, “Najib thought that it doesn’t matter if people know he’s corrupt, because … with the money, he will remain as Prime Minister, nobody can touch him. But it didn’t work.” Mahathir likened Anwar to Najib, stating, “Anwar is a smart operator. Obviously, you don’t see him taking money, but we know that lots of people are corrupt under his government.” To defeat Najib in 2018, Mahathir allied with Anwar, securing his release from jail via royal pardon.
