We knew he could speak brilliantly, but little did we know that he could also bust out some moves.

A clip showing 94-year-old Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad dancing with his daughter Marina Mahathir has gone viral recently.

The one-minute clip showed the cute pair moving and swaying to "Awallah Dondang", a hit number by singer Noraniza Idris.


The video was reportedly taken at a Ronggeng event held at Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur on 15 February.

Ronggeng is a dance which originated from Java and includes couples exchanging poetic versus and dancing to the music of the rebab or violin and gong.

The event was a fundraising dinner held in support for the justice and equality of women in Malaysia.

He also sang a song

During the dinner, the Prime Minister also sang an impromptu song and his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah performed a special violin piece for guests.



We have no idea how our Prime Minister and his lovely wife juggle all their commitments and still have so much energy, but we have to say that it's pretty cool to see their talented and fun side.
