Keep Turns out there is a ton of coveraqe available, even in English [2]. The article didn't make it clear, but the collapse of these institutions led to a major financial and political crisis in Malaysia in the 1980s. We can't dismiss the subject as unimportant just because it's about Malaysia; that would be a form of WP:Systemic bias. And we can't dismiss it because most of the notability was in the 1980s; that would be WP:Recentism. I have added sources to the article and clarified it, so please take another look. --MelanieN (talk) 01:58, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. It looks to me as if the author of the article has not been notified about this AfD. Nominator, would you like to do that or should I? --MelanieN (talk) 17:05, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
