I’m a Malaysian working abroad, it breaks my heart having to accept this reality. As long as we continue to go with the ‘tribal’ mentality and play the race and religion cards. We will become worse off.
I dun recall Malaysia was ever a tiger 😂. Malaysians are living in the bubble. I am born in the 70s in Sg, we mocked at Malaysia even when I was in school in the 80s and 90s. Sg already overtook Malaysia in the early 80s. Malaysians were already doing jobs Sg din want to do as new generation of Sg who were more educated join the workforce.
One thing I also noticed that Malaysia hasn’t really made much preparation into climate change issues. It could be neck breaking for them when frequent flooding and drought hits them. This has very serious implications but nobody in Malaysia seems concern.
