Malaysia's Mahathir Mohamad, the world's oldest prime minister, promis...

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia’s Mahathir Mohamad, the world’s oldest prime minister, promised on Tuesday to hand over power to anointed successor Anwar Ibrahim in spite of new sexual assault allegations against him.

“As far I’m concerned, I’m stepping down and I’m handing the baton to him. If people don’t want him, that is their business, but I will do my part of the promise... irrespective of whatever allegation. I made my promise, I keep my promise.” Last week, Anwar denied fresh allegations by a former aide that he had tried to force him to have sex - describing the accusations as “politics at its worst”.

He also raised the possibility of selling stakes in state energy firm Petronas to oil and gas-rich provinces.Firing back responses to questions from his perch on a sofa in his palatial office at Putrajaya on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Mahathir said he did not feel tired despite his age because he was satisfied by his work.

That would include allegations of rights abuses against Uighur Muslims in China’s Xinjiang region, Mahathir said, while adding prospects for action by the Muslim world were limited.

Online Luggage Startup Away CEO Stepping DownSteph Korey, the CEO of Away who has been under fire over the past week following an article about the company's toxic workplace culture, is stepping down from her executive role She enjoyed the job shoulder to shoulder and when things din't work out she criticised. She could have still enjoyed it. Looks the deal might have been cheap. There's a fine line between fanatical work ethic and sociopathic disorder it seems Startup things like this rule because of the youth behind it; startup things like this (and WeWork) get bizarre because of the youth behind it! Some skills need years of refining.
