TOKYO (June 11): Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is convinced that Malaysia will be successful like Japan provided that Malaysians possess the same Japanese work ethics, thinking and value systems as well as a sense of shame if they fail to deliver or do well in undertaking whatever task at hand.
The Malaysian prime minister said when the Look East Policy was first formulated when he was prime minister back in the 80s, it was not just about drawing investments from Japan or coming to study in this country.
