Malaysia, A 1st World Standard Country by 2016?
-
Looking at all the member nations of Asean, I personally viewed Malaysia as the only country besides Vietnam, Thailand which has the most possible potential to achieve 1st world standard like Singapore within 10 years time.
I studied no much, but I think it can be done if politically and country development plans are carried out with good planning and control.
Malaysia have their own resources including land, water, gas and talented citizens which I see as no fully discovered and utilised. Once, their government realised these factors, I think they will overtake us in no time.
We should be helping member countries to face challenges ahead. Hence would like to hear your views, especially those malaysian forumers.
My english no good also. Hence, please bear with it if unreadable.

It will take them 50 years to achieve today's first world standards, to be optimistic. They have a long way to go.
Thailand would have accelerated and will probably overtake them by then.
Singapore would have moved on closer to the first world standard of that day.
So the gap will always be there, abeit narrower.
This is my view. -
I believed that there are many malaysian or PR forumers here, anyone cared to let us have their views? I will state what my view in detail later. I strongly believed that Malaysia can achieve the standard by the stated time with some real paintaking measurements and careful planning. Cheers. -

This is a joke right?
One major problem for any real advancement toward any standard is the controversial affirmative action programme that gives special rights to the Malay community to "help them catch up with the other races".
The policy, in place since 1970, has been reaffirmed in the recently unveiled “Ninth Malaysia Plan”.
The policy had caused much resentment as it created a class of ultra-wealthy Malays instead of helping the majority.
No body dare to question (any issues related to this policy) as those who dare are threatened (to beheaded / to start a racial riots / to be kick out of the country). The Malay owns the land (Malaysia). The Malay Rights form the basis for wealth sharing among the races.
Put simply, before you think of doing anything (doing business, investment) in Malaysia, be prepared to forgone 30% of the capital (immediately) as well as 30% of whatever you may earn in future.
Since the Malays are so dependent on the handouts, they will never "catch up with the other races" - and expect the affirmation action policy to continue.
It is a joke to expect Malaysia to become a first world standard country so long it does not address the affirmative action policy, a race based policy, discrimination against other races, polarized school system, racial disintegration, brain-drain of the non-Malay, low tolerance against anything that are non Malay (Muslim) traditions. -
This is definitely no a joke.
First one will be a hush but healthy move, you may no like it but it definitely will benefit to the development of malaysia.
Increase the toll free for foreign vehicles entering malaysia to RM100 instead of the current few ringgits.
Reason very simple.
Firstly, can generate more income for the central government for nation development.
Secondly, people will have to think twice whether they wanted to stay and spend in Malaysia while working elsewhere. (This group of people is no contributing to malaysia development, I will place the question of whether they love malaysia.)
Malaysia, must eliminate this group of so called "leeches" while welcome real talents to help them to grow faster.
Investing in other countries like Thailand also have the same issue of protecting Thais. That is definitely right. I will do the same to protect my people's interest first. Won't you?
If everyone around the government only say good things for the governor to hear, the governor will not improve. Must be like the Great Tang TaiZong and his good governance with the help of good officers who dared to speak the truth.
Wei Zheng£¨ÎºÕ÷£©was a historian and statesman in the early Tang £¨ÌÆ£©Dynasty. He was well learned and upright, and dared to use blunt words to remonstrate with the emperor. He made many good suggestions to the emperor. So, he was held in great esteem in the imperial court. Even Emperor Taizong £¨Ì«×Ú£©respected him.
Once the emperor asked him, ¡°How does an emperor behave so that he can understand the real situation and how does an emperor become muddle-headed?¡±
We Zheng replied: ¡°Listen to both sides and you¡¯ll be enlightened; heed only one side and you¡¯ll be left in the dark.¡± He then cited the two wise and able tribal leaders Yao£¨Ò¢£©and Shun £¨Ë´£©as examples. He said that Yao and Shun were good at listening to opinions from all sides, especially those from the lower strata of society, so they could defeat their enemies and maintain their leadership. Wei Zheng then listed the second emperor of the Qin £¨ÇØ£©Dynasty and Emperor Wudi £¨ÎäµÛ£©of Liang £¨�º£©as well as Emperor Yangdi £¨ì¾µÛ£© of Sui£¨Ë壩, and said that these rulers met their doom because they believed one-sided versions of events.
Emperor Taizong was satisfied with this answer. So Malaysia governor will needs many We Zheng. -

I love singapore, hence I will ensure Singapore is 1st World Standard country.

The West Msia may evolve to be of 1st world standards by then, but for the East Msia, more time is needed. The government is way too slow. -
Lots of infastructure not up to date
The recent KLIA announcement incident clearly shows it -
i believe thailand can progress faster than malaysia.

I had spoken about talent, now is water management.
Malaysia have plently supply of water, however the management is disaster. "Jiang Sui Tong Liu" and mostly flowed into the sea..
Very Wasteful 
Throwning away the previous gift from God.
Malaysia's history and terrain had shown that some states of the country needed water badly while some states could be flooded when heavy pour.
Since "Jiang Sui Tong Liu" River Flowed East Ward. The government can look into " Tong Sui Xi Tio" - moving east water to west which can also includes hydro power generation. By shifting the water, their agriculture also will bloom. How they shift the water, need no ask me. They should have the expertise by now.
Building top building is not the definition of a 1st World Standard Country. Malaysia must "Fu Min Jiang Kuo" first instead of "Kuo Fu Min Jiang". When I say "Fu Min" is refering to all and no 2 or 3 only. -

It is vitally important that people of all backgrounds understand that today's anti-Semitism, while aimed at Jews, stems from a belief system that equally rejects Americans and indeed Western civilization as a whole. When Jews are killed in Jerusalem, or synagogues are attacked in Britain and France, Americans in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago become more vulnerable.
The words from his mouth were no accident. He did not make a slip of the tongue, nor was he misquoted or taken out of context.
On the contrary, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad has reaffirmed his beliefs many times since his speech to the assembled leaders of the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference in Kuala Lumpur. Muslims had better get their act together, he said, because "Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them."
The bald anti-Semitism of Dr. Mahathir's comments was immediately condemned by the U.S. State Department, and by President Bush during his swing through Asia. But not surprisingly, in Europe &endash; where anti-Semitic attacks have been on the upswing over the past three years - foreign ministries either kept silent or covered it with mayonnaise.
In Brussels, French President Jacques urged fellow European leaders to shelve a statement condemning Mahathir as inappropriate for a European summit. After he was harshly criticized in Israel (where one daily splashed his picture across the front page with a screaming headline: "the face of French anti-Semitism"), Chirac sent a weak letter to Mahathir, for which the Malaysian premier thanked him for his "understanding."
The French foreign ministry reaction to Mahathir's statement was contained in these three sentences. "We respect the Organization of the Islamic Conference. We respect the huge Muslim community represented by that organization. We expect that those who express themselves in the name of the OIC would have the same respect for other religions, in harmony with the spirit of tolerance that is the spirit of Islam."
But Dr. Mahathir's comments were not just intolerant: they were baldly racist, bubbling up from a deep underground spring that for centuries has fed bigots and murderers. Jews, he went on, "invented Socialism, Communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so that they can enjoy equal rights with others. With these they have now gained control of the most powerful countries and they, this tiny community, have become a world power."
Think of it: a Jewish world conspiracy, operating in secret, today controls the world's most powerful countries. Adolph Hitler shared that belief, as do the homicide bombers who kill Jews on a daily basis. This is the basic covenant of the anti-Semitic creed.
In interviews I have conducted with senior Muslim clerics and with jailed Palestinian terrorists over the past several years, I found tremendous support for the deep anti-Semitic beliefs Dr Mahathir expressed. Such views are being spread throughout the Muslim world by governments who call themselves friends and allies of the United States.
They are being taught to children in Palestinian schools, whose textbooks are filled with anti-Jewish hate. They are being preached from the minarets of Cairo, Gaza, Jerusalem, Qatar and Riyadh. They are being spread in America by front organizations that claim to represent the Muslim "mainstream." And increasingly, they are becoming accepted currency once again in a Europe that for two generations has prided itself on putting the Holocaust behind it.
I call them the "preachers of hate." The bad news is that they are no longer confined to the fringes of the Muslim world. In many important ways, they have become the Muslim mainstream, until moderate Muslims speak out.
Consider for a moment the unending stream of hate speech and incitation to violence coming from the state-controlled mosques of the Middle East.
"The Jews are the Jews," Gaza prayer leader Dr. Ahmed Yusuf Abu Halabiya told worshippers in a July 28, 2000 sermon that was broadcast live on Palestinian Authority television. "There never was among them a supporter of peace. They are all liarsÂ… They are terrorists. Therefore it is necessary to slaughter them and murder them, according to the words of AllahÂ… Kill the Jews and those Americans that are like them."
Or again, listen to how Yusuf al-Qaradawi ended this Nov. 1, 2002 sermon broadcast by state television in Qatar. "Oh God, destroy the aggressor, treacherous Jews. O God, destroy the aggressor Americans. O God, destroy the fanatic pagans. O God, destroy the tyrannical Crusaders."
Al-Qaradawi is frequently represented in the U.S. as an Islamic "moderate," and has addressed the annual conventions of the American Muslim Council and other so-called Islamic organizations in the United States that call terrorism "resistance," where he has made equally incendiary remarks. But make no mistake: it is the Jews, "a much smaller enemy," who have imposed "humiliation and oppression" on Muslims everywhere, he insisted.
To Dr Mahathir way of thinking, 1.3 billion Muslims have been systematically oppressed by 12 million Jews, spread across a diaspora in more than 140 countries of the world. If Muslim countries remain underdeveloped &endash; despite trillions of dollars in oil revenues over the past thirty years &endash; it's all because of the Jews. If their societies are unproductive, their regimes autocratic, their young people dissatisfied and yearning for change, it has nothing to do with their own actions. It's the Jews!
Foreigners often call us naïve, because as Americans we are brought up to revere the truth. Obvious falsehoods seem to us ... well, obvious falsehoods. But this is not the case through much of the Muslim world today, where governments and state-sponsored clerics indoctrinate citizens to believe the most outrageous slanders about Jews and about America, and to reject fact in favor of odious conspiracies.
Jews are like the canary that miners take down into the pits, to warn them when they are about to die. Jews get attacked first, because the enemies of America can't attack Americans. But make no mistake: we're next. It begins with the Jews, but it never ends with the Jews.

Please don't bring up a man that is already history. Now, the stage belonged a new man. Definitely you won't wanted to see Malaysia as Mexico while Singapore as America. The result will be we guarding against your entrying singapore.
Better improve your country to 1st World Standard. We, Singapore will be shamed to have a neighbour of Lower Standard.
Don't you feel ashamed too? -

Protesters halt secular forum in Penang
The Malysian government has condemned a protest by a group of 500 Muslims which forced an abrupt end to a forum organized in Penang last Sunday to discuss the rights of non-Muslims.
Â…
The forums in Penang ran for only half an hour before police told the organizers that they could not guarantee the safety of the 200 participants.
Â…
The police had identified some of the protesters and taken their statements which indicated that the demonstration could be politically-motivated.
Â…
The forum was part of a monthly series on the constitutional guarantee on the freedom of religion.
This follows religious tensions last Dec after Mount Everest climber M. Moorthy was buried as a Muslim despite the objections of his Hindu wifeÂ….
The government has since promised to review the laws to protect non-Muslims rights, but the Penang protest indicates that this may not be easy.
Some Muslims see it as a challenge to the status of the Syariah Court and Islamic Laws.
It is a joke to expect Malaysia to become a first world standard country so long it does not address the affirmative action policy, a race based policy, discrimination against other races, polarized school system, racial disintegration, brain-drain of the non-Malay, low tolerance against anything that are non Malay (Muslim) traditions. -
