Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, according to The Malaysian Insider said his medical qualifications gave him credibility and earned him respect although he actually had wanted to be a lawyer.

"I actually wanted to be a lawyer but I earned a scholarship to study medicine instead," he said during a dialogue with Universiti Sains Malaysia students in Penang.

After six years of studies and putting politics aside, he said he successfully became a doctor at a time when there were not many Malay doctors.

"So my qualifications gave me credibility when I talk on political matters," he said.
