Modern Malaysia is Mahathir's creation...

Article Abstract:

Mahathir Mohamad is to be credited for modern Malaysia and his New Economic Policy (NEP) is instrumental in helping the country achieve racial harmony. The NEP has been dismissed by the west as racist but it has worked well for the country so far and will likely continue to work for the country in the future. The NEP is definitely pro Malay but the results speak for themselves as Chinese and Malays have a nice working relationship thanks to the NEP.

Habibie's role in Indonesia would be business as usual

Article Abstract:

The Golkar Party's candidate for vice-president of Indonesia, Minister for Research and Technology B.J.

The business community has reacted negatively to the news of his nomination, causing the rupiah to plummet from 12,000 to 17,000 to the dollar. The Jakarta composite index reacted in a similar manner falling some 10% after the announcement.

Members of the elite will scavenge Suharto inc

Article Abstract:

The removal of Suharto from the presidency is only the start of the new government's reformation of the economy. The more difficult task of identifying and dismantling business establishments in which Suharto and his clan have interests in, which are estimated at around 1,247 firms in Indonesia alone, remains to be done. The Suharto clan will also have to contend with cronies who will undoubtedly seek control of the corporations.
