Put me down as one who reckons he was merely bemoaning Mahathir's currency controls - if it transpires (over the rather scary months that confront the world) that Malaysia is now better protected against some new hot-money exodus than are those countries who have not moved to protect themselves - well, it might start something not at all in keeping with our betters' globalism prescriptions, eh?
And Anwar is a much more reliable neo-liberal globalist than that suddenly nasty ol' tyrant Mahathir ...
