PETALING JAYA: As we all take a break for the festive holidays, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad also seized the opportunity to do the same.

Resting on a garden chair, Dr Mahathir seemed to be taking the time to enjoy a good read in the lush greenery of his home.

"I haven’t had the time to catch up on my reading for a while. ‘A street cat named Bob’ - one of my favourite books," was what Dr Mahathir captioned for the two pictures posted on his Facebook.

'A street cat named Bob' by author James Bowen is a moving, uplifting true story of an unlikely friendship between a man on the streets and the ginger cat who adopts him and helps him heal his life.
