"Most Malaysians are convinced that the eyes of the world are on their country and that their leaders are world figures. This is thanks to Malaysia's tame media and the bravado of former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad. The truth is, few people on the streets of London or New York could point to Malaysia on a map much less name its prime minister or capital city."


"It is time to move on, time to prepare the economy for life after oil. But, like Nero fiddling while Rome burned, the Malaysian Government is more interested in stunts like sending a Malaysian into space when Malaysia's inadequate schools could have done with the cash, and arguing about wealth distribution using transparently ridiculous statistics."

qouted from "While Malaysia fiddles, its opportunities are running dry" Michael BackmanNovember 15, 2006 - Australia

How sad can it go? I always said that Malaysian government has been very successful in achieving the objectives of the education system: to instill the sense of pride in us. But there is always this knawing feeling inside me, this little voice that tells me that, success is not everyone's, victory is only on the government's side and that we have blatantly been blinded by it all these years. So blinded that sometimes we are so used to it that we don't even know that it is NOT normal! I don't know about others but the countless times I have replied, " What to do, it is an Islamic country." or " Aiiyyyaahh, they are always like this." ; it is just too many a time! I realised that we are taught to respect or in other words, keep our mouths shut up tight! And the best part is, we have been doing it all this while without us knowing it ourselves!Gosh! We never question why they never respect OUR RIGHTS, why Chinese are always and I mean ALWAYS marginalised, why the Chinese can never progress in the government sector....

And to a lot of people from all over the world, they always wonder why the Chinese in Malaysia never say anything about it ..... Bangsa bersatu?
