Expected behavior

Update the selected option dynamically.

Actual behavior

    <select id="country" class="mdb-select">
        <option value="" disabled selected>Select</option>
        <option value="ind">India</option>
        <option value="usa">America</option>
        <option value="myr">Malaysia</option>
    </select>

By Default "Select" is selected.In my application there is customer search field, if the customer is from Malaysia, i have to update the country dropdown with the customer's country.

Before updating to 4.8.10 i was using 4.7.7

$('#country').val('myr');

This was working fine.

But after 4.8.10. this doesn't work anymore. any alternative method to select an option?
