PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says he will step down as Prime Minister within three years, handing over the reins to PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“As far as I’m concerned, I have made a promise that I will step down and that Anwar will succeed me,” the prime minister told CNBC in an interview in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday (June 22) where he was attending an Asean summit.
