Malaysia PM quits after just 17 months in office
Malaysia's prime minister and his government resigned Monday after just 17 months in office, throwing the country into fresh political turmoil as it battles a serious coronavirus outbreak. Muhyiddin Yassin's tumultuous period in office came to an end after allies withdrew support and a last-ditch bid to cling to power failed, and he becomes the shortest serving premier in Malaysian history. After a final cabinet meeting, the 74-year-old headed to the national palace to submit his resignation to the king.
