Productivity growth has halved to 3% since the 1998 Asian crisis and the World Bank says Malaysian firms innovate less than those in Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.
The drastic drop in productivity is expected as Malaysia relies heavily on unskilled, untrained and ill-educated cheap foreign labor to drive its industry. How can Malaysia firms innovate when its talents leave for greener pastures overseas because of racial discrimination and sweatshop salaries back home? It was reported that salary rise was only 2.6% for the past 20 years! Which Malaysian wants to do difficult innovation jobs with so little pay? Can the unskilled, untrained and ill-educated foreign labor take up such jobs?
NKRA “Najib Kerja, Rosmah Arah” (Najib works, Rosmah directs) is not a new “phenomenon”. A flip-flopping Najib is known for his indecisiveness, and lack of political will to bring new ideas and new development to pass. In fact, some political analysts claimed Najib is no better than his flip-flopping predecessor Tun Abdullah Badawi.
With reforms and economic liberalization being attacked by conservative Malay groups who fear their special economic, social and political privileges are under threat, Malaysia will continue to be locked in the middle-income trap and will soon be overtaken by fast-developing countries like Vietnam and Indonesia.
Abu Kesian thinks that small fish is better then no fish at all. Then again those big fishes may eat him up that is why he is playing his distance. Abu Kesian you are not our paid fisherman, you are an UMNO paid agent to cover up their crimes.
Just like everything else in this country he too needed the approval of the then P.M. to have any senior official charged. As such in other words it is a white wash to have an or any anti corruption body around. The anti corruption body is under the control of the P.M.. Especially shenanigan Mahathir or for that matter any of the P.M. of Malaysia will never sanction the anti corruption to have himself charged in court ! That is why I have always advocated that such body should only be reporting to the parliament.
At least he got a 'big' fish only the let it off the hook before the fish becomes a dead meat.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I must admit, in Bolehland,
