The coalition’s rivals should gain ground, however. The prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, will remain in office for now, but there could be a contest to succeed him. GDP is forecast to grow at a much faster rate than previously expected, led by rising industrial production, increased exports and slightly greater private consumption. Investment levels will be subdued. Inflation and interest rates will remain low, but the current account will again be in surplus. The political scene: With the next general election imminent, four opposi- tion parties have joined forces to challenge the ruling coalition. Important policy disagreements will keep them from becoming a potent force, however, and the government has been keen to exploit their differences. A new secretary- general has been appointed at UMNO, which may be suffering a crisis of confi- dence. The former deputy prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, has again been put on trial, this time for allegedly committing illegal sex acts. Economic policy and the economy: The economy contracted by 1.3% in the first quarter of 1999, owing to declining output and demand. The trade ac- count remained solidly in surplus, however, as imports again fell. Official data showed the recession was abating, although constraints on public spending and reduced bank lending have raised concerns. Interest rates have continued to fall. A government bond offering was oversubscribed, but only after an at- tractive rate was offered. Foreign investment has declined as companies have questioned government policy. Many of the targets in the government’s five- year plan have been lowered. Banking and finance: Lending slowed, but the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio, after rising early in the year, began to decline. Danaharta, the NPL acqui- sition agency, completed its purchase of bad loans and began offering assets for sale. Danamodal, the recapitalisation agency, is also keen to dispose of its ac- quisitions. An important bank merger has been completed. The stockmarket’s surge has been fuelled by local buying. Regulators have increased oversight of the banking system. The issue of Malaysian shares formerly traded on Singapore’s over-the-counter market remains contentious. Agriculture: Demand for palm oil has been subdued. Rubber imports have been curtailed. A dioxin scare provoked a brief ban on European imports. The Nipah virus appears to be under control. Industry: Manufacturing output has begun to grow again on improving ex- ternal and internal demand. Investment in the electronics sector has increased over 1998 levels. Progress on the government’s high-tech zone has continued to lag. Lax enforcement of intellectual property laws remains a problem. Car sales continued to rise. EIU Country Report 3rd quarter 1999 © The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 1999 4 Energy: Tenaga is reviving a shelved generating project following increased demand for electricity and a return to profitability. The Bakun dam scheme will proceed. Petronas insists it will not increase output of crude oil. Transport and communications: Kuala Lumpur’s light rail network has continued to evolve. Construction on a monorail has resumed. The national airline has gone deeper into the red. Indebted telecommunications companies may be forced into mergers. Employment, wages and prices: Fewer workers are being laid off by com- panies. The government has rejected a proposal for a retrenchment fund and a minimum wage. Inflation is moderating. Foreign trade and payments: The trade surplus remained substantial through to May, driven by stronger sales of electronic goods. Export revenue was sharply higher year on year. Imports began to rise in April. Brunei Outlook for 1999-2000: Rising world oil prices will help the government's finances, which are heavily dependent on receipts from the hydrocarbon sec- tor. The regional economic recovery—and higher energy prices—have also im- proved Brunei's broader economic prospects, and the government is now forecasting growth in GDP of between 0% and 1% in 1999. The recession, however, exposed deep problems in Brunei's economic structure, and the gov- ernment has pledged to pursue banking and financial sector reforms and to in- crease opportunities for private-sector participation in government enterprises. Review: The government intends to introduce more business-friendly policies in a bid to increase foreign investment. A plan that would allow foreigners for the first time to own land in Brunei appears to be a part of this programme. Despite some signs of openness, the government continues the strict enforce- ment of religious laws, and has warned of "deviationist" forces within the Islamic religion. A major controversy over religious food laws has highlighted the importance the government still places on Islamic orthodoxy. Brunei's economy grew by about 1% in 1998, according to the IMF. Lower oil prices cut government tax revenue sharply, leading to a large budget deficit. The government financed this easily with proceeds from its overseas investments. The government continues to develop its plan to become a major regional trade and services centre.

  • URUGUAY INVITES PROTON to SET up PLANT (Bernama 03/07
    03 JUL 1996 Uruguay-Proton URUGUAY INVITES PROTON TO SET UP PLANT KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- Uruguay has invited Malaysia to set up plants there for assembling or manufacturing cars for export to countries in the region. Foreign Ministry Deputy Secretary-General Datuk Abdul Halim Ali said today that since Uruguay did not have its own automobile industry, it felt that Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional (Proton) could use it as a base to export to Brazil and Argentina. As a member of the Mercosur economic cooperation, which also includes Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, Uruguay has the trade facilities and export quota in several areas like automobile industry to move into these countries. "This is certainly a very attractive offer and it will be conveyed to Proton," Abdul Halim told reporters after a meeting between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Uruguayan President Dr Julio Maria Sanguinetti at the Prime Minister's Department here. This is among several fields that have been identified for Malaysian investors to venture into in Uruguay, apart from infrastructure development like building of roads, bridges, ports and tourism facilities. Sanguinetti arrived yesterday for a five-day visit at the invitation of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Ja'afar to strengthen bilateral ties in line with South-South cooperation. Halim said Dr Mahathir and Sanguinetti also exchanged views on developments in their respective regions. While Uruguay said it could be a gateway into the Mercosur market for Malaysian goods, Malaysia made known its potential as a base for Uruguay's products to penetrate the Asean countries.

  • PM to MEET DR LING, LIM AH LEK (Bernama 12/04/2002)
    12 APR 2002 Mahathir-MCA PM TO MEET DR LING, LIM AH LEK KOTA BAHARU, April 12 (Bernama) -- The Prime Minister and Barisan Nasional Chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad will meet MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik and Deputy President Datuk Lim Ah Lek in an effort resolve the problems within the key BN component party. Speaking to reporters here, the Prime Minister who is visiting Kelantan, said the meeting would be held at anytime now. The prolonged crisis in the MCA has split the party into two groups, the so called Team A and Team B to the chagrin of BN supporters and other BN component parties. Team B leader, Lim, said his relationship with Dr Ling had broken as a result of his long standing dispute with the party president. In the latest development, Team B proposes to hold an extraordinary general meeting on April 21. Dr Mahathir said the misunderstanding in the MCA would not bring any benefit. "I think, misunderstandings such as this will not bring any benefit and I believe they can settle the matter through negotiations," the Prime Minister said. On his meeting with the leaders of Kelantan Umno led by Datuk Mustapa Mohamed, Dr Mahahtir said it was a normal meeting. "It is just to find out how we can win in Kelantan," he said. "There are no problems and even if there are, we can settle them. It is an internal issue.... within the family," he said when asked about talk that certain Umno Divisions in Kelantan wanted to topple Mustapa.

  • THE RISE and FALL of DR LING LIONG SIK (Bernama 23/05/2003)
    23 MAY 2003 Ling-Politics THE RISE AND FALL OF DR LING LIONG SIK By: Alan Ting KUALA LUMPUR, (Bernama) - He was not seen as a likely presidential candidate of the MCA during the infamous clash between Datuk Dr Neo Yee Pan and Datuk Tan Koon Swan in the 1980s. Having thrown his weight behind Koon Swan, he was like any other "generals" in the bitter party tussle, till a twist of fate propelled him to the helm of the oldest and biggest Chinese party, a job he held for almost 17 years. That twist of fate came on Sept 3, 1986 when he, as the deputy president, was appointed to the top post, replacing Koon Swan who had to resign after being sentenced to a two-year jail and a fine of S$500,000 for criminal breach of trust in Singapore. Born on Sept 18, 1943, Dr Ling had his early education at the King Edward VII School in Taiping before joining the prestigious Royal Military College (RMC) in Sungai Besi. From the RMC, Dr Ling studied medicine at the University of Singapore in 1961 and by 1966, he served as a doctor at Penang General Hospital before opting for private practice in Butterworth in 1975. The medical doctor, with a dead-pan face and gravel voice, launched his political career in 1968 when he joined the MCA and worked his way up to become a Central Committee member in 1974. EARLY YEARS In the same year, he was picked to stand in the Mata Kuching (now called Bagan) parliamentary constituency on an MCA ticket and won, retaining the seat for two subsequent terms.

  • Mixed Reaction to Lim's Return to Active Politics (NST 24/09/2002)
    24/09/2002 Mixed reaction to Lim's return to active politics KUALA LUMPUR, Mon. - MCA deputy president Datuk Lim Ah Lek's readiness to return to active politics was met with mixed reaction, with Team A supporters questioning his sincerity while Team B members welcomed the possibility. MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik, however, refused to comment on Lim's statement. "It is a democratic party. I do not want to comment," the Transport Minister said after opening the general assembly of the KTMB Bhd Workers Union (RUM). An aide to a minister aligned to Team A said Lim had always been portrayed as the reluctant politician and he could not understand why Lim hinted at the possibility of becoming active again. On Lim's claims that he may be able to contribute to Barisan Nasional during the next general election, the source said no one in the party was indispensable. An MP aligned to the Dr Ling-led Team A said Lim would lose his credibility if he returned to active politics. "For more than 10 years, he has said he wanted to quit politics. How can he say he wants to remain active now? "Before the 1999 general election, Lim even sent his resignation letter directly to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad. He bypassed Dr Ling in doing so," he said. Bentong MP Liow Tiong Lai said Lim had a proven track record in servicing his constituents and the Chinese community besides being very experienced in the Government as he had served as a Minister and State executive council member.
