This Sweet Dream of Supremacy will never stand firm against the test of globalization. The pressure will become greater on this type of institutional supremacy-to-self-delusion in the coming years when competitiveness is all that matters in the survival of the fittest in the borderless world. Institutional supremacy-to-self-delusion doesn’t carry any weight of competitiveness, much less of self dependency, innovation, commonsense or self responsibility for sustenance of the people and generations to come. Rather this self-delusion will make the self-deluding souls weaker, brittle and easily manipulated by external elements who see in these weaklings soft spots to influence for their own malevolent interests.
It shudders me to think what kind of a country Malay-sia will become in the next 5 years in the face of rising 3rd world countries into the upper rank far, far above us rendering this once Tiger of Asia to the dogs. What significant value can we proof by then with our ‘Malaysia Boleh’ when we are caught with pants down while still shouting these overdrawn heady catch words with but empty hands.
Institutional supremacy-to-self-delusion will continue in a coconut shell like the proverbial frog that never see the light of what’s happening in the real world except the inside shell of self-delusion of supremacy in protection (and not the other way). Outside are hordes of hungry hyenas just waiting for the right moment when the proverbial supreme frog thinks it’s time to venture out of self-delusion.
Does any hyena give a damn to this so-called supremacy of frog?
