Dr. Mahathir didn’t seem to be worried about the situation. It was about a year away from the end of the First Outline Perspective Plan (OPP), the twenty year timeframe from 1971 through to 1990, marking the formal end of the New Economic Policy, that was mandated by the National Consultative Council in 1970 to be implemented over the twenty years. The national consensus was to restructure Malaysian society and eradicate poverty on the back of the May 13th Incident. At this time the government was focussed on consolidating the nation’s recovery from economic recession of 1985.
