Sodomy, Murder, DNA Tests Make `CSI Malaysia': William Pesek
2008-07-20 19:01:00.0 (New York)
Commentary by William Pesek
July 21 (Bloomberg) -- It's becoming the highest-rating
program in Asia: Malaysia's crime scene investigations.
Just like its wildly popular American counterparts, this
crime drama -- call it ``CSI Malaysia'' -- features sex, murder,
DNA samples, cover-ups and a colorful cast of characters
wondering who's guilty of this or that.
At the center of Malaysia's CSI franchise is Anwar Ibrahim,
a former deputy prime minister who did time on corruption and
sodomy charges. Last week, Anwar was arrested on new sodomy
claims. He accuses Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak -- who
denies sexual-misconduct allegations related to a 28-year-old
Mongolian woman killed two years ago -- of manufacturing the
charges to discredit him.
The storyline is captivating this nation of 26 million
people, most of whom are Muslim. It's sparking steamy and
decidedly awkward debates about how one defines sodomy and
whether it should be a crime. (It is under Malaysian law.)
Surreal subplots abound. Mahathir Mohamad, the man in power
when Anwar was jailed a decade ago, has been fighting a very
public war of words against his successor, Prime Minister
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, over corruption allegations.
Events in Kuala Lumpur would be far more entertaining if
they were confined to a television screen -- and not denting the
image of one of Asia's most promising economies.
Shifting in Seats
Many Malaysians aren't quite sure what to think. Are the
charges against Anwar trumped up to keep him from toppling the
government? Is the male aide who claims to have had sex with
Anwar telling the truth? If Anwar is innocent -- he claims he has
never engaged in sodomy -- why not submit a DNA sample and clear
himself? If you were Anwar, would you trust authorities not to
taint the DNA test?
It was impossible to avoid this issue at a Bloomberg panel
discussion on July 17, the day after Anwar was arrested (and the
day on which he was released). On the panel were bigwigs from the
likes of Malaysia Airline System Bhd., Maxis Communications Bhd.
and CIMB Investment Bank. You could see them shifting nervously
in their seats as the issue of sodomy came up.
If Malaysians don't know what to make of Anwar's plight, you
can imagine what foreign investors think. ``Summer of
Discontent,'' is how Deutsche Bank AG analyst Teoh Su-Yin titled
a recent report on Malaysian stocks.
Last week, it was hard to find an analyst predicting a quick
resolution to Malaysia's fragile political backdrop. Nor could I
find anyone in Kuala Lumpur who felt markets had fully priced in
the negative impact of higher inflation on the economy and
corporate earnings.
Changing World
What's so frustrating about Malaysia is the obvious
potential. Its natural-resource-rich economy has achieved great
things in the 50 years since independence from Britain. Twenty-
five years ago, this was a tropical backwater. Today, Malaysia's
modern, skyscraper-filled capital is home to the world's tallest
twin buildings: the Petronas Towers.
Yet the world is moving ahead at a rapid pace, hastened by
the rise of China and India. It won't wait for Malaysia, and the
current scandals preoccupying the government are coming at the
worst possible time. Malaysia should be acting boldly to increase
its global competitiveness.
Nations as diverse as China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and
Vietnam are working to raise their global influence. Five years
from now, any of these economies might harness specific
advantages, from low costs to human capital to technology, to
challenge Malaysia's growth prospects.
Leadership Vacuum
Malaysia should start by fixing a key weakness: a four-
decade-old affirmative-action program favoring the predominant
Malay community. It limits investment, stifles competition and
keeps the economy from becoming a meritocracy. It's a third-rail
issue and isn't discussed seriously.
The leadership vacuum in Kuala Lumpur means Malaysia is
squandering time its economy doesn't have. Its $151 billion
economy is becoming a smaller blip on investors' radar screens,
and politics deserve much of the blame.
Abdullah is under pressure to quit after his coalition's
worst-ever election result in March. Earlier this month, he
announced plans to stay in power for two more years as his chosen
successor, Najib, faces sexual-misconduct allegations. What has
the makings of a trashy novel has become reality, and it's not
clear Malaysia's leaders see that.
Unstable Situation
Malaysia, it seems, is being run for the sole benefit of
those in charge. The nation has become more about Abdullah's
party, the United Malays National Organization, than the welfare
of its people. That's not being lost on overseas observers.
``Investors are already considering the situation as
unstable,'' says Tricia Yeoh, director of the Centre for Public
Policy Studies in Kuala Lumpur. ``They are already reconsidering
their options in the country. The new investors are possibly not
looking at Malaysia as a viable option and previous investors
would be thinking of extracting their funds to be put in more
stable and viable locations.''
Financiers may be perfectly happy to watch CSI at home. They
are far less keen on exposing their money to a whodunit playing
out on Malaysia's national stage.

hmmm... to summarise it all...
Malaysia:
former PM - still thinks he can call the shots, accused of corruption, talks a lot of BS and is a troublemaker
present PM - lame duck nice guy, seen to be as useful as a cardboard cutout... allegations of corruption but seen as pretty clean because he's too bland and harmless to be corrupt...
deputy PM - accused of corruption and of breaking up with ex-lover with hand-grenades
former DPM - put in prison for sodomy (charges thrown out eventually) and corruption.. currently accused of sodomy again...
common Malaysians - politically and financially sodomised..
