Britain-Malaysia trade row likely to end soon
KUALA LUMPUR. May 25: Expectations ran high Tuesday that a British minister might cool Malaysian anger over corruption allegations enough to secure the lifting of a threemonth boycott of British firms, reports AFP.
Trade Minister Richard Needham met Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad early Tuesday to deliver a confidential message from British Prime Minister John Major.
Details of the talks were not immediately available, but Needham had said on arrival late Monday he was carrying the "original" of a letter to Mahathir, who had already received a copy of it.
"I want to talk to him about the ideas that I bring with me for the future of Malaysian-British relationship,'' Needham said. He expressed hope that the boycott will be lifted quickly because "There are so many things we want to do in common."
Needham is to meet Malaysia's International Trade Minister Rafidah Aziz.
Malaysia barred British firms from bidding for government contracts on February 25. following reports in the British media of corruption in Anglo-Malaysian trade and in Mahathir's administration.
London's Sunday Times was singled out for its February 20 article alleging links between Mahathir and British construction firm W i m p ey
■International.
The allegations were made amidst British media charges that Britain made a 234 million pound (350 million US dollar) grant for Malaysia's Pergau dam project contingent on Malaysia's purchase of a billion pounds of British goods.
Mahathir had said that the boycott, said to have cost British firms millions of dollars in lost contracts, would be lifted only if the British media 'stopped reporting lies on Malaysia." ,
A Malaysian official noted that a call late Monday by the powerful youth wing of Mahathir's United Malays
National Organisation (UMNO) for the government to relax the ban was a clear sign "ties could be normalised very soon."
Mahathir acknowledged a British media "ceasefire" on Sunday. He said "there is an improvement in the British media reports on Malaysia particularly after the person (Andrew Nell, editor of the Sunday Times) who started such reports was transferred."
Neil. 44, Is to be seconded next month to work in New York for seven months on a current affairs programme for the Fox Television Network.
The network and the Sunday Times are both controlled by media baron Rupert Murdoch.
"The ban should be eased if the British press has changed its attitude and make no adverse reports on Malaysia," said UMNO youth chief Rahim Tamby Chik.
British Education Minister John Patten had made a pitch last month to mend the rift.
