As we bid good bye to the year 2020,it is sad that the Vision 2020 dream is yet to be fulfilled. We were confident and optimistic that Malaysia will become a developed industrial country by the year 2020.
The year 2020 has come and gone, and we are still very much the same old Malaysia, an agricultural country. In fact much worse than before because we are now facing stiff competition in palm oil export from our close neighbour, Indonesia.
The only industry which we were once proud of, the EON Proton car assembly is also now controlled by a foreign country.
Our national carrier, Malaysia Airlines System (MAS) is now on the brink of bankruptcy, and the government is not going to bail it out this time around. But any party wishing to inject fund to rescue the airline has to meet the condition that the identity and image could not be charged,it must maintain the image of a Malaysian airline. This is obviously not possible.
The main concern of the people in Malaysia right now is the stability of our government, we are now having the weakest government in the entire Malayalan history. It is toeing the tight rope, going to lose its balance any moment. When that happens, the political scene will be very chaotic again.
Right now it is clueless as to improve the economy. The covid-19 pandemic is getting worse. The governmentis helpless to contain its spread. Our neighbors Thailand, Indonesia plus India are having anti government protests going on. Their people are fleeing to Malaysia to seek cheaper and affordable medical cares. They should be stopped but the government is not been able to handle it.
They are busy politicking!
