Malaysia not a failed state? It's about to collapse anytime soon. The umno goons ruling the country have been sucking the country deep dry n they have no shame about it. Compare Malaysia to Singapore (a country that has no natural resources). I rest my case. The disgusting is the main leader in the umno pirates.

Sadly Malaysia’s political legacies are hindering a realistic recovery plan to help the country navigate the market economy in the 21st Century!

The last paragraph should be the lyrics of our next National Anthem.

Malaysia is in dire need to find a true leader who is willing to do what it takes to turn the country situation around quick. The only way one can help pull this around and change the tide has to be someone not into politics and corruption rather someone who is totally dedicated to change the course of the country to a better Malaysia. Friendly policies that are welcoming to all citizens, to attract investors, to set aside racial politics and face the reality of what has been promoted as 1 Malaysia. Truly, for a nation to come together everyone must learned to embrace and come together as a united nation/Malaysian. Malaysia cannot afford the current corrupts political leaders who are sucking up the all the wealth to themselves and killing the entire country economy into destruction through their selfish gain while disregarding the welfare of its citizens. There are enough capable and qualified Malaysian who can step up to clean up the broken, bias and corrupt system that are being put in place by unqualified so called leaders. However, they must be given the liberty to rein in to correct the wrong. Every Malaysian should recognized the urgency and seriousness the crisis the nation is facing. Malaysia cannot afford not to take heed. All Malaysian must stand up to never allowed our dysfunctional government ruled by cronies and corrupts leaders who are good for nothing, done nothing to champion the welfare of its people.

Whoever treats and accepts all non malays as part of this country, will go along way.....this Malay 1st policy MUST stop if we're completing with other nations in SEA....otherwise, Malaysia is doomed.....just look at our education and bursary awarding system.....don't go far, even today's leaders are awarded for their incompetency....is this what we want moving into the next century? Enough is enough of failed policies which benefited one race......

"The party revolt played out in the press and social media, undermining Zaid’s authority. He will have to stand down. It opens the way for Ismail Sabri to bid for the UMNO presidency next."

But....(a) It's "Zahid", not "Zaid" and (b) well no, the Umno elections system does not work like that. Thanks to the notorious Najib's reforms, about 130,000 party faithful have a say. Ismail Sabri has dented his standing among the grassroots by accepting Bersatu's largesse.
