Money, time used to invent weapons saddens Mahathir
- 5 years ago
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today expressed his disappointment that people nowadays spend more money and time for research on inventing weapons than other useful needs.
"Today, I am sad to say that every single new discovery is on how to kill people. We see the explosives being used for all kinds of weapons in order to kill people.
"The microchip (for example) is just a collection of transistors that is very much plagiarized. If it is not for the good of humanity, I don't think it should be used in our knowledge and our power to do those things (killing people)," he said during the question-and-answer session after his keynote address at the Perdana Leadership CEO Forum 2019 in Kuala Lumpur.
