Prime Minister HE yesterday assured the public that if he lives to 90, he no longer aspires to lead the country at that age.

In 2007, HE, one of the world’s longest-serving leaders, announced that he planned to hold power until 90 if people continued to vote for him. But ahead of the 2013 national elections he revised that target, saying he wished to remain in power until 74.

Sounds about right. I understand he lives in his fortress at Takmao.

He also has a 'palace' on Ochheateal Beach next door to the Chrystal Hotel. No doubt, he has others elsewhere.

Easy to find, just watch where the chopper lands. Several km past Takmao on RHS.
