Mahathir 'in, out and interim' hogs international headlines

Almost two years after Pakatan Harapan’s shock election victory in the 14th General Election, Malaysia finds itself once again the centre of regional news and analyses after the surprising turn of events on Monday, February 24.

Regional media outlets have lapped up the situation as Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who led the coalition into victory resigned as Prime Minister, and was later reinstated as interim PM.

Singapore’s Mothership published a piece headlined “Mahathir killed 3 birds with 1 stone: Analysis of failed coup making rounds online in Malaysia.”

The Jakarta Post highlighted stormy waters ahead with Dr Mahathir’s abrupt resignation, in a report headlined, "Mahathir resigns but the outcome of the Malaysian power struggle unclear".
