Why we are still in the third world? Look at our education field: a) Some admitted to local universities by easier matriculation program and others by STPM. Why? b) Overseas law graduate have to sit for CLP and local law graduate exempted. Why? c) Overseas accounting graduate have to sit for professional exams before become MIA member and local accounting graduate exempted. Why? Why don't make education equal opportunity to all Malaysian? K-economy require first class education.

Do Umno want to open to other race? And let other race suck the rest of economic benefits? More NEP for the Malays means more corruptions and abuses for Umno to grap. What can the govt and PM do? They are the main culprits and enjoy the most benefits of all these wanton abuses and economic blunders. With the population of Malays increasing at a tremendous rate and speed, other races can forget of racial equality, no racial discriminations, fair treatments and opportunity in govt jobs esp in army and police and fair distribution of wealth. Without opportunity, how can other race become well off and participate in creating wealth for the country. Many other races are willing to work hard for the benefits of the country but the malays enjoy the privileges and special rights. Shall we all call ourself malays as elsle so as not to be left out. We do not want to be like South Africa of the past where racial discrimination is so rampant but today it is so different and prosperous.

I would certainly agree with you in the case of countries with (1) The 3 pillars of government independent, the Executive,the Judiciary and the Legislature (2) Free Press (3) A government in waiting The present government has been going on since independence and have been in power for so long that they have come to consider governing their god damn right.They have grown arrogant enough to think that it is also their god damn right to take.The judiciary has been made compliant and the press gagged by all kinds of repressive laws mostly introduced by that mamak recuperating at IJN.So what makes you think we are far better off than Burma where you say the military reigns sopreme.The UMNO here also reigns supreme as well, not much different from Burma's military rule.The UMNOPUTRAS do what they like and nobody has been brought to book. You also seem to think that there are quite a large number of intelligent and smart Malays who seem to know how to right this country.But how large is large? And most important how enlightened are they? Are they enlightened enough to put country before self?Worst of all according to you they don't have political power. It is just like cancer ---if you are detected at the initial stage or at the 1st stage cancer is curable.If it has spread when first detected it is terminal.Malaysia's rote has set in so deep that the tumour has spread all over I am afraid a handful of capable people will not be able to reverse this country's problem.Even a leader in the making of LKY cannot do a miracle here. Every institution here is not only down right corrupt but is also highly inefficient.Malaysia is fast becoming to look like banana republic not unlike Mugabe's Zimbawe, Sierre Leone or even Burma. I am inclined to think a complete overhaul of the system can only put Malaysia to the globilised world of the 21st century.

I place my greatest hope on this group. All Malaysia need is a handful of the most capable leaders to reverse the rot. Malaysia is still fortunate until even now because no matter how much of our resources have been robbed from us, there are still much more. Although those in power are myopic, corrupted and mediocre they are not stupid or immortal. There is still hope my friend of all races. Malaysia is down but it is not out yet. We must march on.

With the table of comparison brought up by Dr.Chen one cannot fail to see why Singapore's GDP per capita is way ahead of ours and i believe that even in wealth distribution I think Singapore is more evenly distributed. The only way to revert this trend can only come from the GE but even that I don't see how it could happen.The dominant race is Malay and Malays are easily won over by their racial and religious sentiments besides giving 200 ringgit for their votes.The Indians can be bought over for much less and in fact the Indians are the most loyal supporters of BN since day one!!! For the Chinese they can be gently persuaded by the mere mention of May 13. The day of reckoning will come when the oil depletes, subsidies are removed and no more 200 ringgit to dish out for their votes.
