If you have the time, read the various article in malaysia today, and malaysia insider websites. Lots of the things that had gone wrong in Malaysia (yes, at the moment, only looking at the issues in Malaysia) and the various authors had given good accessments to those issues close to their hearts.
The most serious issue that probably is the basis of all the other wrongs is the issue of corruption and the perception of corruption in Malaysia. Over time, most of us have become immune to, if not subscribing to corruption.
In fact a most recent example is this PhD Muslim convert (no bigot) is not only corrupt. He tries to corrupt fellow Malaysians too with his half-baked thesis. Since this fellow can teach at the University of Defense, I wonder how many Malaysians had been moulded into idiots by this chap. Fortunately we have people like blogger 'Art Harun' who writes really well. You should take a peek at his Open Reply to this bigot.
On why I think 2010 will a good year, at least in the political arena. It is the growing support of the opposition as is cleverly worded in my favourite article for today, The indispensable Opposition by blogger 'masterwordsmith'.
Have a great new year.

Malaysia slides 9 places to 56th spot in 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index
Today's hot topic in various media. Have not read the government controlled print media. To think that Malaysia really, really, Boleh slide to this level...
To a large extent, we are collectively guilty in lending a hand to this.
Most motorist would, at one time or another (or still doing it), give a couple of tens of Ringgit to a traffic police if they are stopped for committing a traffic offence.
For those who complain about corruption in Malaysia, do reflect upon this. Do you, or do you not, give in to corruption by paying of a traffic police. If you do, then STOP. They will then focus on doing their job, rather than looking out for easy money.
Yes, I will ask, if I am stopped, to be given a chance. Failing which, I will just ask them to issue a summons.
Don't know who coined this, I subscribe to the fact that we should "not complain about the dark, but light a candle".
