    "The debate on the major factors contributing to Southeast Asian industrialization continues unabated. As might be expected, there is much at stake in this debate. The debate is largely ideological in nature and partly centers on the role and contribution of state interventions and other institutions in market processes in the context of late industrialization. At the risk of caricaturing the debate, on the one hand, one finds the dominant and mo…

    Jomo K S, K S JomoBOOKIndustrializing Malaysia2013

  • Before the Storm: The Impact of Foreign Capital Inflows on the Malaysian Economy, 1966–1996

    Kiong Wong, Wong Kiong et al.ARTICLEJournal of the Asia Pacific Economy2005References: 3

    Foreign capital inflows (FCI) are supposed to bring positive effects by augmenting investible funds, domestic savings and foreign exchange earnings, thus closing the savings and foreign exchange gaps. FCI may also have undesirable effects on the domestic savings rate as well as on the recipient's balance of payments position. This study examines both sets of influences on Malaysia between 1966 and 1996, i.e. before the 1997–98 crisis. Historicall…

    Lim was a founder-member of the People's Action Party (PAP), a fact rarely, if ever, acknowledged in the city-state, and was a rising political star in the 1950s and 1960s. He was, from all accounts, a fiery and dynamic orator and was also blessed with good organizational skills. When he took over as Secretary-General of the Singapore Factory and Shop Workers' Union (SFSWU), the union's membership swelled from 375 in April 1954 to nearly 30,000 b…

    In late April, 1992, the Malaysian government hosted an inter‐ministerial meeting for governments of the South in preparation for the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June. This would have been a praiseworthy initiative if not for the government's dismal record on environmental issues, especially on tropical timber logging. However, the government‐controlled media went out of its way to give the opposite impression in the weeks prior to the conf…
