Malaysia’s leadership tussle ended on Saturday after the country's king selected former home minister Muhyiddin Yassin over interim prime minister Mahathir Mohamad as the nation’s next leader. Muhyiddin, who won the backing of opposition parties, will be sworn in on Sunday. Mahathir had said early Saturday that he had won the backing of the Pakatan Harapan coalition he abandoned earlier this week.
