(DAWN.COM), NOVEMBER 22, 2018 -
As Prime Minister Imran Khan wrapped up his two-day official visit to Malaysia on Wednesday, it became evident that the former World Cup-winning captain has fans all around the globe.
A video clip from a photo op during the premier’s visit shows the Malaysian first lady, Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, turning to Khan and asking: “Prime minister, can I hold your hand?”
“Sure,” Prime Minister Khan replies with a smile, prompting laughter from those in the audience, and from his counterpart Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.
As Khan holds her hand, nonagenarian Siti Hasmah is seen gleefully posing for the photo.
As the premier’s visit came to an end, the Malaysian prime minister saw him off at the airport, following which Khan departed for Pakistan.
Prime Minister Khan is the first head of government to visit Malaysia since Mahathir Mohamad became prime minister for a second time earlier this year.
