KUALA LUMPUR (The Star/ANN): Malaysia’s stocks plunged and the ringgit fell on Monday (Feb 24) morning on a series of news that there may be a realignment of the ruling coalition and change of government.

At noon close, the key stock index KLCI fell 38.94 points or 2.61% to 1492.94 points – below the psychological level of 1,500 for the first time this year.

“The persistent uncertainty associated with an unstable political environment has undermined investor confidence, weakened consumer sentiment and reduced pace of economic development.” Last Friday night, there was an important meeting of top leaders of Pakatan headed by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who had been pressured to fix a date to pass the premiership to Anwar.

Dr Mahathir’s men reportedly had tried to solicit support of MPs for a mandate for the 94-old leader to stay on as premier until the next general election.
