Combined political and economic strength set a sound base for Datuk Seri Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, when he took up office in July 1981.
For another, while the vast conspiracy Mahathir envisaged was a figment of his imagination (I know the supposed conspirators, and they aren't that smart), a few hedge funds really did engage in concerted manipulation of Hong Kong's markets in the summer of 1998.
But the vindication that Mahathir probably imagined for himself--a triumphant recovery in Malaysia, while its more orthodox neighbors continued to languish--hasn't quite played out.
Some background here: Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has been the wild man of the Asian crisis, blaming all his problems on manipulations by Jewish speculators, denouncing the prescriptions of the International Monetary Fund as part of a Western conspiracy to recolonize Asia, and so on.
In our staged "dialogue"--which was played out in semi-public, in front of a disturbingly obsequious audience of a hundred or so businessmen--Mahathir continued to sound a minor-key version of the conspiracy theme, insisting that capital controls were necessary to protect small countries against the evil designs of big speculators.
