Malaysia. 2nd world country with 3rd world corruption

http://on.ft.com/1JHGZMs

It seems that finally the open secret that Malaysia is as corrupt as most of the rest of Asia is going to come into the spotlight. Malaysia is a political basket-case, with an entrenched pro-malay party which has been in charge since independence fighting off a rag tag combo of reasonably hard-core Islamists and disaffected Malays.

The Malay Chinese meanwhile continue to quietly run pretty much every business entity of note and are letting the Malays get on with whatever they do - corruption mainly.

If it does go pear-shaped for the PM then life there could get interesting
