Abstract

Malaysia's foreign policy under the leadership of Mahathir Mohamad from 1981 until 2003 has demonstrated new dimension and unique identity compared with the previous Prime Minister. Mahathir, in his era has played an important role to bring in a great impact on national, regional and international relations in terms of international economic aspects. During the time, the foreign policy of Malaysia was influenced by various internal and external factors. While many policies were formed, this paper will only analyse international economic relations during 1981-2003 by focusing on the “Buy British Last” and "Look East Policy”. These two policies are important to study as Mahathir seems to re-establish economic relations with Japan as it is the first country he visited after he returned to be the 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia.
