Rajan takes issue with the favorable coverage international media keep giving former Malaysian deputy prime minister and now opposition figure Anwar Ibrahim:
The Financial Times:
To hear some middle-class Malaysians talk about Anwar Ibrahim, you would think he was the devil made flesh, guilty of crimes against decent society ranging from gross financial corruption and sexual deviancy to Islamic fanaticism. Such is the effect of seven relentless years of government-inspired calumny.
To hear the international media elite talk about Anwar Ibrahim, you would think he is God incarnate, merciful sinless man who only wants to best for Malaysia and nothing more.
