Malaysian PM Defends Rule
Malaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has hit back at United States criticism of his 19 years in power.
Protests in support of Dr Mahathir's jailed former deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, continue in Malaysia for the third day in a row.
Yesterday, 2,000 Anwar supporters gathered outside the main gate of the prison where Anwar may spend the next 14 years following his conviction on political corruption and sodomy charges.
United States Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, has said Malaysia deserved a better leader than Dr Mahathir.
The Malaysian leader has hit back, suggesting the US had no right to criticise Malaysia's justice system, because the United States courts were the same.
