One last place to look for is Google News. In their archive section on New Straits Times, there's some good information there. Not too sure about other newspapers though.<br /><br />As to AWSJ, I really need to check out some libraries in KL to see whether they have the 1980s issues... and photocopy those articles by Mat MillerAvatarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247832621693405810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833372664905554734.post-52109220262505155492012-09-18T17:14:32.809+08:002012-09-18T17:14:32.809+08:00Thanks Avatar.

Any idea what happened to it?<br /><br />Apparently there's also "Carrian: Robed Men of Justice" by Hector Lee, CD only. Unfortunately, there's no trace of it anywhere on the internet. Again, if anyone can locate a copy, please do share :)Avatarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247832621693405810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833372664905554734.post-21045360253806974852012-09-18T11:45:45.883+08:002012-09-18T11:45:45.883+08:00Thanks, agree, another interesting case.Thanks, agree, another interesting case.M.A. Windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833927103193297126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833372664905554734.post-60146885169891568782012-09-18T10:53:27.780+08:002012-09-18T10:53:27.780+08:00The best coverage of Carrian / Bank Bumi at the ti...The best coverage of Carrian / Bank Bumi at the time was from the Asian Wall Street Journal - superb investigative journalism by Matt Miller and Raphael Pura. If anyone knows which regional libraries have copies from the relevant years, please let us know. <br /><br />Meanwhile I just noticed this more recent comment by Matt Miller, referring briefly to those years and to the attitude of participants: <br />http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-112283070/deal-sense.html Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833372664905554734.post-2425242753817771582012-09-17T18:05:21.173+08:002012-09-17T18:05:21.173+08:00No problems.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. ...Hi M.A. Wind,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I was just a young turk during 1997/98 so the focus was just trying to get a job...<br /><br />Any books you recommend for the 1997/98 crisis since it's your specialty?<br /><br />As for the older crisis (1970's and 80's), apart from Dr. Neo's book (which I think is arguably the best stock market book from Malaysia), you could check these 2 books out if you're interested:<br />(I was asking in case there were any gems I might have missed out)<br /><br />1. The Making of Malaysia Inc (Ranjit Gill)<br />2. Economic Crises in Malaysia (Samuel Bassey/Cheng)<br /><br />Both are still available for order through Pelanduk http://www.pelanduk.com/<br />Avatarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247832621693405810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833372664905554734.post-73262916546717680132012-09-17T13:15:49.716+08:002012-09-17T13:15:49.716+08:00Hi Avatar,

Universities should focus some research on these issues. <br /><br />Myself I am the most interested in 1997/98, I lived through it (survived by being zero per cent leveraged), that was really a weired time, stockmarket going down every single week in a row, for many, many months in a row. Good quality stocks going for a PE of 2.

Thanks for the historical lessons...Dear M.A. Wind,<br /><br />Thanks for the historical lessons. Speaking of historical lessons, do you happen to have any books or information of past scandals and crisis on stock markets in Malaysia and Singapore? More specifically:<br /><br />1. The Carrian Saga<br />I know the ICAC website has some stuff but it's not really detailed enough to get a good picture.<br /><br />2. Pan-El Crisis<br />There's a great MAS staff paper on this but are there any other books or online resources.<br /><br />3. The stock market crisis of 1973, 1987 etc.<br />There's really a lack of information on these earlier stock market crashes vs. those in recent memory like 1997.<br /><br />I would appreciate if you could share any information/knowledge that you have. <br /><br />Thanks.Avatarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247832621693405810noreply@blogger.com
