List of ancient M'sian politicians:

*Lim Kean Chye (1919), wheelchair bound, smoker, frail

*Abdullah CD (1923), communist insurgent leader

*Abdul Taib Mahmud (1936), CM and governor of Sarawak

*Mahathir Mohamad (1925), immortal PM of Malaysia

*Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (1939), Mahathir's rival who held a lot of posts

*Musa Hitam (1934), deputy PM

*Michael Chen (1932), of Chinese origin, held a lot of posts

*Mohd Khalil Yaakob (1937), thinks he is a Midwest sheriff

*Harris Salleh (1930), decrepit

*Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah (1937); minister of finance

*Daim Zanuddin (1938), other minister of finance

*Lee San Choon (1935)

*Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir (1939)

*Samy Vellu (1936), corrupted minister of works

*Paul Leong Khee Seong (1939)

Abdul Taib Mahmud back in Malaysia following a 3-month hospitalisation in Turkey for treatment of a serious bowel obstruction (and possibly cancer).

 

On the others, Musa Hitam had a brain surgery in April. Michael Chen made an appearance in January and looked like a corpse. Also, Badawi's dementia has worsened a lot during the last year and he's slowly starting to look like those very old Japanese women. A very frail list.

 

Edit: Sirajuddin of Perlis (not on the list) has also had a multiple-month hospitalisation recently.

Hiroyuki Hosoda, Japan's current Speaker of the House of Representatives and former Chief Cabinet Secretary, hospitalised after feeling unwell.

 

He seems Japan's own McConnell/Feinstein: In March he was said to "suffer from dementia-like symptoms time to time", in July he was hospitalised by ambulance due to heat stroke and last month he was absent from multiple events.

Hiroyuki Hosoda to step down next month.

Chilean activist Roberto Thieme dead at 80.

 

Quite a fascinating life. Son of a Nazi, right-wing extremist who organized a coup against Allende in the 70s, jailed, freed by Pinochet, becomes one of Pinochet's main opposer, and a convinced leftist. Exiled, alleged to have killed Olof Palme, came back, married Pinochet's daughter in the 90s.

 

A life of contradictions.
