whilst i am mindful that a lot could be window dressing, i still think a new global financial crisis could be averted like in 2008. Now its left to see if BN takes it in GE for the sake of many foreign investors staying in the sideline! one more drop is to be expected right just when the GE is called, but i don't expect it to be as severe as the 19-day diarrhea of selling by GLCs and foreigners (only miserable nett 202mn exit if recall one report) in November!

yeah, foreign funds giving Malaysia a miss currently from what i can see FDIs flowing to HK, Singapore, Indonesia and even Vietnam! B-grade investment countries will have to sort out a lot of rubbish, i agree! But i think funds will eventually flow back also! just a matter of time if the other countries' valuation high! this is a 3rd grade conman reporting! :)
