Report: Malaysia's Mahathir urges Muslims to boycott Dutch products

Malaysian former leader Mahathir Mohammed called for 3 billion Muslims worldwide to boycott Dutch products because legislators of foreign immigrants released anti-Islamic films, according to Sunday news coverage. At the same time, his government, together with the international community, stated that he strongly respected and respected the 15-minute movie and was neither respectful nor insensitive. "Muslims are united, it is easy to take action," Malaysia's Utu Sun Malaysia quoted Mr. Mahathir. "When boycotting products in the Netherlands they will have to shut down their business." I can not immediately request comments from his office. A Geert Wilders movie entitled 'Fettina' or Arabic 'Torture' was published online Thursday, but it was deleted from LiveLeak.com one day later. It spreads widely on other file sharing sites

Mahathir believes Malaysia 's economy can not be regarded as independent, and must be associated with the world economy. During his tenure, Mahathir made Malaysia the core of high-tech manufacturing, finance and telecommunications through corporate nationalism (the various Malaysian programs set by the government's medium-term goal). Known to lead the phenomenal growth of the Malaysian economy, he is currently one of the largest and most powerful countries in Southeast Asia. Between 1988 and 1997, the average economic growth rate exceeded 10%, the living standard of Malaysia rose by 20 times, and relative poverty was almost eliminated (eg literacy rate and infant mortality rate).
