KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (CNN) -- Malaysian Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad will step down as leader Friday minus much of the pomp and ceremony

Instead, a low-key handover to Mahathir's successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will bring to an end one of the most dramatic, and at times controversial,
political careers in modern Asia.
