Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The audio file is used to illustrate Mahathir Mohamad’s distinct oratorical style, providing readers and listeners with a direct understanding of his tone, cadence, and rhetorical delivery. This enhances the article’s textual content by allowing users to appreciate Mahathir’s speech delivery, which is a critical aspect of his public persona and influence.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	No free alternative exists for this specific audio file as the original video is copyrighted and not released under a free license. Replicating the unique delivery and context of Mahathir’s speech through another source would not be feasible.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	While textual descriptions of Mahathir’s speeches can convey content, they fail to capture his distinct speaking style, which is essential for understanding his impact as a speaker.
