Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad resigns

Politics in Malaysia returned to chaos on Monday as Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad submitted his resignation to the country’s king.
The prime minister’s office confirmed the decision in a short statement, saying the resignation letter was sent at 1 p.m. local time (0500 UTC).
Minutes before the resignation, Mahathir’s Bersatu party confirmed it had pulled out a four-party alliance that unexpectedly ousted the government of former leader Najib Razak in 2018.
As part of the coalition deal, 94-year-old Mahathir had promised that his longtime arch-rival Anwar Ibrahim would succeed him as prime minister in a year or two.
However, rumors emerged at the weekend that the Bersatu party was trying to form a new government and thwart Ibrahim’s succession bid.
