Vision 2020

My generation was raised on this, when Tun M was Prime Minister the first time around.

2020 was supposed to be THE year that Malaysia becomes a developed nation.

In less that an hour, that date will come: 01.01.2020

unfortunately however, we are nowhere near developed nation status- we are 'developing' at best.

We have not improved our salary scale, or working conditions, or national productivity [much],

Our currency is not competitive... our national products below par,

Our school education system is still ingrained with the rote system despite the direction the rest of the world is moving towards (I would argue that this is 50-60% true),

The higher education system is focused on OBE (outcome-based-education) and the implementers (in my School/ Department at least) are as pedantic as hell,

We Our politicians are STILL bickering along racially tainted lines,

The Malaysian identity is as elusive as ever, 62 years after we yelled "Merdeka" from British rule,

We wish we were united

and many more.









I was also taught about hope, and the strength of the human spirit.

We will become developed as a nation ONE day, it's just not today.
