An article on Nov. 1 about Mahathir bin Mohamad, who stepped down as prime minister of Malaysia on Oct. 31 after 22 years, misstated his country's projected 2003 economic growth rate and its comparative ranking among Southeast Asian nations. According to the Asian Development Bank, the Malaysian rate is 4.1 percent, not 4.5 percent; it is behind that of Thailand (6.0 percent), Vietnam (6.9 percent), Laos (5.5 percent) and Cambodia (5.0 percent), not just that of Thailand.
