In Dr Mahathir's Malaysia, Japan is back amid doubts over Chinese funding


At a press conference yesterday, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced the dissolution of a number of government bodies

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) is set to woo investors and offer business deals during a trip to Japan that starts on Sunday (June 10), as he looks to cover a gaping debt hole and shift the country away from dependence on Chinese investments.

The visit marks his first foreign trip after returning to power in a shock election result last month, and indicates a shift back to the 92-year-old's "Look East" policy to strengthen ties with east Asia, especially Japan.
