The same type of situation happened in Malaysia, and Indonesia, which had the added complication of what was called "crony capitalism".[6] The short-term capital flow was expensive and often highly conditioned for quick profit. Development money went in a largely uncontrolled manner to certain people only, not particularly the best suited or most efficient, but those closest to the centers of power.[7]…
