Malaysia's 94-year-old Mahathir Mohamad lost out in the battle to become prime-minister as the king named former-interior-minister Muhyiddin Yassin after a week of political turmoil sparked by Mahathir's resignation. The decision could again reshape politics in the Southeast-Asian country less than two-years after an alliance of Mahathir, and old rival Anwar Ibrahim, 72, swept-out the former ruling-party that had been tarnished by corruption scandals.
