Abstract

This study examines the effects of crisis and post-crisis periods on the performance of Bumiputera-controlled companies in Malaysia. A sample of 33 Bumiputera-controlled companies listed on Bursa Malaysia is considered over the period 1996 to 2005. ROE is used as a performance measure and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test is used to justify our argument. Results indicate that Bumiputera-controlled companies suffered in both short run and long run due to the financial crisis.
