PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the oldest elected leader in the world, has spilled the beans on his secret to being happily married to his soul mate Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali, for the past 62 years. The premier said tolerance, as well as the need to consider the feelings and future of the children, was the most important factor to their relationship. With a smile on his face, he reiterated his earlier years of being with Dr Siti Hasmah, the backbone to his success. Dr Mahathir, 93, also stressed that there was a need to consider the feelings of children as it would be a disaster for the family when parents break up and re-marry. Dr Mahathir’s first tenure as Prime Minister was from 1981 to 2003, becoming Malaysia’s longest-serving Prime Minister, before making a comeback after the general election in May.
