SOS ETP, NEM, NEP

ETP - Enough Talk Please

NEM - Not Enough Man

NEP - Never Ending Politicking

Well, if we do a study or research on our neighbour coutries or previously known as 5 Tigers, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia (40 yrs ago), you will realise, Malaysia is the only country that turns into a kitten.

Well, almost most of them start from the same starting line, i.e. same level of GDP, today, we rank #5 among the 5 tigers. #1 has a GDP per capita of USD37,000 and #4 is USD17,000 and guess what what are we in USD8,000 per capita.

Hmmm, the writing is on the wall, we have to ask these few questions:

• Are we not as smart


• Are we not as hardworking


• Are we not rich in resources


• Are we at the less strategic place


• Are we not attracting talents

Wonder if we have done a study to find out why so many Malaysian migrates to other country, I think the answer is quite clear, we are just living in denials. Coming up with ETP, NEAC, NEM, MACC, you name it, will not solve the problems. If it is so simple, a company may have easily successful when coming up with slogans.

We have to ask ourselves, with these "projects"

• Will we be SMARTER


• Will the people be more hardworking


• Will our resources deplete further


• will will lose our strategic location


• will we attract talents or prevent migration

MyView

Let us look at ourselves before we make any comparison with our neighbour countries.

Common sense will tell us that why so many skilled Malaysian do not stay, because:

• It does not provide "sufficient opportunity"


• It education standard is "not high"


• Its judicial is "what money can buy"


• Its safety and security is "inadequate"


• Its major policies do not provide "meritocracy"

Are we taken for a ride by our existing Government? Do we deserve a lot more than the existing Government can provide? How many times has the Government proven to set policy based on meritocracy?

We have MAS, look as SIA

We have MU (Malaysia University) and Singapore has SU (Singapore University) look at their ranking now.

We have MSC and it is a failure

We have Proton, Korea has Hyundai

The list will go on and on. What are we MISSING here? Has our government with ALL its intelligents not able to KNOW the PROBLEM, if not, what is the SOLUTION?
