mahathir has been publicly critical of foreign policy of united states , yet relations between 2 countries still positive , united states biggest source of foreign investment, , malaysia s biggest customer during mahathir s rule. furthermore, malaysian military officers continued train in under international military education , training (imet) program.


the bbc reported relations united states took turn worse in 1998, when vice-president al gore stated @ asia-pacific economic cooperation (apec) conference hosted malaysia:



democracy confers stamp of legitimacy reforms must have in order effective. , so, among nations suffering economic crises, continue hear calls democracy, calls reform, in many languages – people power, doi moi, reformasi. hear them today – right here, right – among brave people of malaysia.



gore , united states critical of trial of mahathir s former deputy anwar ibrahim, going far label show trial . news , world report called trial tawdry spectacle. also, anwar preeminent malaysian spokesperson economic policies preferred imf, included interest-rate hikes. article in malaysia today commented gore s comments constituted none-too-subtle attack on malaysia s prime minister mahathir mohamad , more on governments, including japan, resist demands further market reforms. gore s endorsement reformasi (reformation) asking (among other things) ouster of mahathir, anathema mahathir, , remarked ve never seen rude . summed malaysian expectation 1 guest should not show such discourtesy host.


however, mahathir s views firmly entrenched before event. example, before asean meeting in 1997, made speech condemning universal declaration of human rights, calling oppressive instrument united states , other countries try impose values on asians. added asians need stability , economic growth more civil liberties. these remarks did not endear him secretary of state madeleine albright, guest @ meeting.


the relationship stormy both ways. following anwar s firing , subsequent imprisonment, madeleine albright paid visit anwar s wife.


yet mahathir has not hesitated point america justification of own actions. in speaking of arbitrary detention without trial of prisoners of conscience in malaysia, said: events in united states have shown there instances special powers need used in order protect public general good.


at other end of spectrum, united states government has criticised malaysian government implementing isa, in 2001 when president george w. bush said internal security act draconian law. no country should longer have laws allow detention without trial. in 2004, however, bush reversed stance , claimed cannot classify malaysia s internal security act draconian law.


in 2003 mahathir spoke non-aligned movement in kuala lumpur, , part of speech, said:



if innocent people died in attack on afghanistan , have been dying lack of food , medical care in iraq considered collaterals, 3,000 died in new york, , 200 in bali collaterals deaths necessary operations succeed?



marie huhtala, american ambassador malaysia, responded statement: these not helpful statements standard, , m here tell washington take note of them. bound have harmful effect on relationship.


more recently, 2003 invasion of iraq caused additional friction between 2 countries; mahathir highly critical of president george w. bush acting without united nations mandate.


in spite of this, malaysia s relationship has been strong. 2003 house subcommittee hearing (serial no. 108–21) on policy towards south east asia sums despite blunt , intemperate public remarks prime minister mahathir, u.s.-malaysian cooperation has solid record in areas diverse education, trade, military relations, , counter-terrorism.


even after retirement, mahathir not hesitant criticisms of united states. in 2004, (the star, 18 october 2004), quoted having said american people are, , large, ignorant , know nothing rest of world.... yet people decide powerful man in world . in same interview, correctly predicted george w. bush s victory in 2004 united states presidential election.
