You wouldn't be the first to call the Malaysians incompetent.
Vietnam has voiced concerns over "receiving 'insufficient information' from the Malaysian side." China, too, has found "'too much confusion' over Malaysia’s release of information."
The FT blames Malaysia's opaque political system. Malaysia has been lead by one party since 1957. The press is "either state-controlled or is instinctively government-leaning". Malaysia's system of affirmative action, which extends to the government, makes matters worse. It has fostered "a system where appointments are not always made on merit." Worse, "not only are non-Malays excluded but competent Malays are excluded as well if they happen not to be on the right side of the political divide."
