Wahai Negaraku

Its really sad seeing our country who used to be among the top boys in asia region falling to such a low state..We used to compete with China , South Korea or even Japan in economy-wise but now we are struggling to attract foreign investors compared to under-developing countries like Vietnam or Cambodia who are way behind of us in well pretty much everything. Over the past few years, FDI have been moving out from our country due to political instability and not to mention various red-tapes involved. Furthermore, labour cost have been gradually increased compared to Vietnam. Malaysia is slowly becoming less-competitive compared to our neighbouring countries. But is our country and the govt really tat bad ? Not at all, in fact,we can capitalise in our oil palm and create more value added products compared to primary products.
Besides that, the iskandar project was a brilliant project, but due to poor infrastructure planning, it has lost its attractive-ness.So there's definetly room for improvement for Malaysia ! Well you can take our malaysia's football squad as an anology for our country's economy well being. Days where Mokhtar dribbling past Maradona are long gone..We'r now playing with lowly minnows such as SIERRA LEON , NEPAL & AFGHANISTAN in the merdeka tournament. Being the host and defending champion, our boys better give it all they have and make malaysia a country worth talking about,before the world recession creeps in or our country is all but over ! ( well for the football la, for our economic standing ? theres still hope =)
