Mahathir Mohamad's second term as the Prime Minister of Malaysia, which lasted from 2018 to 2020, was marked by several significant developments and events. Having previously led the country from 1981 to 2003, Mahathir came out of retirement in response to the 1MDB scandal. He led the opposition Pakatan Harapan coalition to victory in the 2018 general election, defeating Barisan Nasional and prime minister Najib Razak.

His government initiated reforms, addressed corruption, and aimed to strengthen the country's economy. One major focus was on the 1MDB scandal investigation. Mahathir also worked on improving relations with neighboring countries and embarked on numerous international trips. Additionally, his administration focused on addressing environmental issues and promoting sustainable development. He resigned in February 2020 amid a political crisis.
