"Ask older people for advice!"

It is Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's call for Finland's True Navy.

- We believe in the idealism of young people, but it is very important for them to also make use of the experience of old people. When there is a combination of youth and experience, then things get good, Mahathir Mohamad tells Reuters.

Mohamad first became Prime Minister of Malaysia in 1981, and retired in 2003. He returned to the role of Prime Minister 2018.
