"People like Soros have no future in Malaysia"

* States Prime Minister Mahatir Mohamed, upbraiding 
financial speculators who provoke stock-exchange crises

BY JOAQUIN ORAMAS

CAPITAL is the new gunboat of the rich, stated Mahatir Mohamed, the prime
minister of Malaysia, who spoke out in the South Summit in Havana in order
to recall that the international financial crisis is still latent,
notwithstanding the recovery noted in certain countries.

He warned that, having provoked the stock-exchange crisis of two years ago
with the falling price of shares, speculators are now returning to buy up
banks and companies at cheap prices. He highlighted the fact that
Hungarian-U.S. mega-speculator George Soros, one of main agents of the
crisis which affected South East Asia, is being very active, buying in
various countries, where he has acquired banks and companies and 300,000
hectares of the best land in Argentina.

Even if he is not participating in the business of money exchange prices, he
has accumulated an enormous fortune, while many citizens from the countries
he attacked with his speculation activities have died as a result of
disturbances and other events related to the crisis, noted the Malaysian
leader, who was one of the first heads of state and government to denounce
Soros' activities when, in less than 24 hours, he withdrew hundreds of
millions of dollars from Malaysian banks, originating a financial panic, as
a repercussion of similar events in Thailand.
