“In 1994 or 1995, when i Capital first raised the serious problem of Malaysia’s poor PEC (Productivity, Efficiency and Competitiveness), China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc were not competitors. Malaysia was naively thinking she was ahead of them. How so foolish we look now. When the Great Asian Crisis broke out in 1997, Malaysia again lost valuable opportunities and failed and refused to undertake serious reforms. Are we now repeating the same fatal errors?”

- Tan Teng Boo, i Capital
