Mahathir Mohamad: Malaysian prime minister in shock resignation
Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohamad has resigned in a surprise move that could unravel the ruling coalition.
The resignation of Mr Mahathir, 94, comes amid rumours that he may form a new coalition without his designated successor, Anwar Ibrahim.
The world's oldest elected leader returned to power in 2018.
In a surprise victory, he ousted then-prime minister Najib Razak, who is on trial charged with taking millions of dollars from a government wealth fund.
