Where do we stand?

Amidst the global recession,there is a few economic superpowers that are showing how tough they are. With economic growth rising instead of decreasing, it really speaks volume of the credibility those superpoers have. Some might say the asian century is cominng. Is it really ture?
If it really comes,does it include us? China has abundance of cheap labour resources that are tapped vigorously by every single company that wants to cut costs. Besides, with huge export yearly and still show a strong resilience in this point of the time, we should really give a bow and salute of them. However, as a neighbouring country, are we doing enough to benefit from it.
What do we have to offer in the first place? I guess we have quite a good market to begin with. Our labour resources can be categorised between highly skilled and skilled levels. But,is it enough? Why are sometimes deem the weaker one when compared to our closest rivalry? With the recent disagreement,we also lose our superiority to our country so small. Do I have so say anymore?
Well, there must be something wrong with us that do not allow us to step forward. I guess our own unique characteristics are our own weaknesses as well. Simply, we live in a multiracial country. But wait,does multiracial helps in boosting economy. Of course it does! When you travel to foreign country, take a look. I guess only Malaysia offers a place where so many races are living in a country. I supposed I can say that we live quite harmoniously together. This typical yet unique character is truly one of its kind compared to the whole world.
With so many languages spoken and cultures, people are so fascinated to have a look and visit our country I am proud to say quite a number of my peers in Australia have travelled to my home country. As I wondered,"Is it really that special?" I guess it really does. From the comments I can get, they love our beaches, shopping complexes and definitely the cuisine.
With these comments bare in mind, the equation is relatively simple for us to figure it our. But with good planning is never sufficient. Historically, our plan sounds so great and perfect that constantly it ends up being just plain silly. It is the execution we need to work hard on. See our beautiful beaches. Unfortunately, the additonal views that tourists see also will defame ourselves. The filth and unhygienic attitude of our own local people shall definitely be revealed.Why is it such simple thing yet important thing is the one that let us down?
Another vital point is labour resources. In times of global information technology, whoever manage to possess the highest skilled labour will definitely have positive impact on its annual figure revenue. Malaysia has so many people and yet not fully tapped. Mind you this can be attirbuted to certain reasons that certain people can't able to let go. People have to understand. This is a world which is the survival of the fittest. If you are not on par to anywhere near there, please step down and let those who can to take up the challenge. You are just wasting the country's resources. One pertinent point is due to our lack of attention to our own people, neighbouring and some foreign countries will be happily snatch all the people from you. In the end,who loses? I wonder.
In this crucial times, we have to step up our games. If we falls far behind, you are most likely fall behind for a very long time. Please think and this is a great opportunity for change as times are hard. While people are so busy with their own things, they will not realise you have done tremendously to strengthen yourself. Be strong and come out with surprises. Only then,we shall now where we stand. Not under the superpower,but side by side as one superpower.
