KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s 94-year-old Mahathir Mohamad lost out in the battle to become prime minister on Saturday 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.
That former ruling party of six decades, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), was among those that had rallied in support of Muhyiddin, along with the Islamist party PAS.
Although Mahathir and Anwar announced on Saturday that they had joined hands again, the palace said in a statement the king made his decision on the basis that Muhyiddin possibly had the support of a majority in parliament.
“His majesty has decreed that the process of appointing a prime minister cannot be delayed,” it added. “This is the best decision for all.”Muhyiddin, 72, will be sworn in on Sunday.

“I only ask for all Malaysians to accept the decision announced by the national palace,” Muhyiddin told reporters at his home.
“I only ask for all Malaysians to accept the decision announced by the national palace,” Muhyiddin told reporters at his home.
There was no immediate reaction from Mahathir, who has been interim prime minister since he resigned, or Anwar.
Salahuddin Ayub, a lawmaker from Mahathir and Anwar’s political coalition, said they would gather evidence to prove they would be able to form a majority in parliament.

US and China: edging towards a new type of cold war? Matt Pottinger, a senior White House official, delivered a searing message to China this week in a video later posted on YouTube. Speaking in pitch-perfect Mandarin, he praised Chinese historical figures who supported democratic ideals and helped in the 1940s to write the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which remains a bedrock for liberal values today.  “The cliché that Chinese people cannot be trusted with democracy was . . . the most unpatriotic idea of all,” said Mr Pottinger , the US deputy national security adviser. He lauded the Chinese who keep the flame of liberty alive today, including 20 Catholic priests who “refused to subordinate God to the party and the millions of Hong Kong citizens who peacefully demonstrated for the rule of law last year”. Beijing’s reaction was withering. “Mr Pottinger thinks that he really understands China but from this speech it seems that he does not really understand China . . . becau...

Pakistan is on yh edge of several disasters ,would you like to analyse which disasters I am telling or what kind hybrid war are going on let's read and analyse condition . The world has changed. Wars are fought no more on battlegrounds but with touches of buttons and turnings of knobs. Hybrid warfar e has revolutionized the arena where every country exhausts all possible means without even moving. “The categories of warfare are blurring and no longer fit into neat, tidy boxes. One can expect to see more tools and tactics of destruction – from the sophisticated to the simple – being employed simultaneously in hybrid and more complex forms of warfare”, Robert M. Gates, Former U.S. Secretary of Defence. Conflict is inherent to the structure of the international paradigm, a construct of state system and composition of human society. The nature of wars resulting from this conflict has remained constant as a political and social phenomenon, however, the character of war continues to tran...
