Dr Mahathir Mohamad may have been named as Pakatan Harapan's candidate for prime minister, but where he will make his parliamentary comeback is still unanswered.

One of the seats the former premier is eyeing is Langkawi, the island that many credit him for transforming into a tourism haven.

The seat is currently an Umno stronghold, held by first time MP Nawawi Ahmad.

Nawawi had won the seat with an 11,861 majority or 67 percent of the vote, but when asked if he could defeat Mahathir, the Umno lawmaker responded with a chuckle before saying: "No comment."...

Asked if he would defend Langkawi, first time MP Nawawi Ahmad says, 'InsyaAllah'.
