“Our students and professors will dominate Ivy League universities and our own universities will be citadels of excellence for international scholars.
“We will be pioneers in alternative energy, drawing on our strength in biofuels. Our cities will be the most liveable on the globe, blending cosmopolitan facilities that are rooted in a tolerant and just societal ethos.
“This is the Malaysia in my dreams for 2057. One hundred years of independence, one hundred years of advancement.”
A very beautiful painting. A nice dream. BUT it will remain a dream to PM. To achieved a developed nation in 2020 is a humongous and impossible task for Malaysian mentality what more a vision 2057. As Uncle Kit put it "when things in more and more fronts seem to be falling apart, best illustrated by the nation’s failure in the past 44 months to make the transition from “First-World Infrastructure, Third-World Mentality” to “First-World Infrastructure, First-World Mentality” or to prevent backsliding to “Third-World Infrastructure, Fourth-rate Mentality, nine-rate Maintenance”.
This is indeed true. Thing are falling apart, the Malaysian Parliament is already a laughing stock with most MPs simply refuse to behave as lawmakers. Worst still after the RM90 million refurbishment and renovation, yet leakage puts it ugly head again. Then Malaysian witness the Courts in Jalan Duta literally falling apart until ceilings collapsed and cafeteria flooded. Hospital in Kedah also fall apart and worst still the ever always KL centre flood. What is happening to vision 2020? Until and unless Vision 2020 is up and ready there will NOT be a vision 2057.
Best football team in Asia? I wonder. As the term 'Juara Kampung' still persists. We will always be village champion. No question about it. Malaysian will never support the Malaysian Team except for the ever charging English Premier League and the Italia Serie. So what can Malaysian football offer to Malaysian? Nothing as we can't even beat Indonesia and we will always struggling to beat Singapore and Philippines.
As to our students in Ivy League University.... I think I can agree with that, as they will NEVER come back to their country to serve in the local university. Probably the number will just say goodbye Malaysia and helo abroad. There again, we are in a losing battle. How to achieve development status when all the smart ones are no longer a citizen of Malaysia.
