'In an exclusive interview with The Weekend Australian in his office near
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's longest-serving prime minister said: "The whole
world is laughing at America, at the stupidity of the decisions they made
and at the refusal to recognise the situation."

He described US President George W.Bush as being in "total self-denial".'

It's a pity he didn't deny himself the invasion of Iraq.

Is this Aussie or Malaysian abusage?

He was the bloke who nearly started a war through not knowing the meaning of
the word 'recalcitrant'.
