CNN.com - Mahathir to step down in 2003 - June 25, 2002

The Prime Minister of Malaysia is nuts, the only question is how nuts he is. Apparently, he tried to resign out of the blue over the weekend, later agreeing to stay on until next year. Remember, this is the same guy who accused George Soros of trying to wreck Malaysia's economy for nefarious personal reasons. I figure the odds are against him actually leaving when it comes down to it.
