I knew some people who lost plenty of money during 98 crisis. One went bankrupt, and never goes back up until today. He lost his factory, cars, etc. If I am not mistaken, he invested in properties.
The other one actually got billed out by family, as he lost too much money in stock market playing margin in 98. He told me that he wasn't in any mood to work at all during the good time, as he could make hundreds of thousands in days. He was in construction lines. He said on those days, developers never ask about your prices, they just ask when can you start and whether you have manpower.
A friend bought a house at that time for investment, and left vacant for many yrs. Only past few years, she managed to sell the house with price she felt ok.
I dun think Malaysia was affected much in 2008. At least not that I could feel. I think share market got affected more in 2008. I think I could only remember NPL was bad, and bank shares are very cheap. But somehow, nobody dared to buy.
Regardless how bad or good the economic climate is, there is always people going bankrupt, others strike it rich. I believe in individual luck. Of course, during boom time, chances of making it slightly better la.. The other one actually got billed out by family, as he lost too much money in stock market playing margin in 98.
