Mahathir Mohamad is a day away from becoming a centenarian.
The two-time former Prime Minister of Malaysia celebrated his birthday a few days ahead of his actual birth date.
He was born on Jul. 10, 1925.
In a Jul. 6 Facebook post, Mahathir could be seen smiling and sitting in front of a birthday cake as the people around him sang Happy Birthday.
The celebration was held at Kolumpo Kopitiam's Ampang branch.
The restaurant said that Mahathir stopped by for breakfast, adding, "Tun's presence brightened our morning and became a meaningful memory for all Kolumpo Kopitiam citizens."
Mahathir was Malaysia's and the world's oldest prime minister when he took power after Pakatan Harapan's shock victory in the 2018 election, ending an unbroken reign of Barisan Nasional rule.
Mahathir remains active in both politics and social media, making international trips and regularly sharing his thoughts on Malaysian and global affairs.
Just two weeks prior, he was seen driving a Proton e.MAS 7, the car manufacturer's first electric vehicle.
