Franz Ross...Just got back... I didn't read the article on Malaysia (SCMP). However, I believe that the government intervention has a short-term effect. Possibly to mirror what HK is doing. Their dollar reserves are not as abundant. US investors are not focused on Malaysia at the moment. (Instead: Latin America, Russia, Clinton...and now possible fed rate policy). "business as usual" .... Do mean prior to or during their 1990's economic surge? Since their surge was "overdone" with respect to their economic infrastructure it is now going to have to retrench and find its normal developing growth rate. Government intervention will only delay or possibly soften the pain of getting there. Malaysia made great strides in the early 1990's. Politically, as you know, they have had adversarial relations to Singapore. Presently, their form of government "appears" stable enough to weather the economic storm. Certainly the situation is extremely dynamic and volatile. This will be expected for several more years. It is very possible that Malaysia will work through its economic problems before several other Asian countries. It has been a couple of years since my visits to Malaysia and Singapore. These are my observations. Loki
