If there is nothing to hide, be transparent Ananda Krishnan’s friendship with Mahathir, struck up when they both took refuge in London, was the path to his subsequent riches – now he has been granted much of Sarawak’s oil wealth. It has frequently been observed that BN run Malaysia as their own private business, as if the politicians held personal ownership of the state.
