Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad raises the United Malays National Organisation's (UMNO) flag during the Umno annual general assembly in Kuala Lumpur June 19, as Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim (L) watches. Mahathir said on Friday that governments in both East Asia and the West suffered from corruption, but investors had used "crony-capitalism" as an excuse to attack Asian economies.
