Malaysia is run and has been run by village people. They are in power because the majority are their village people. Village people understand what their villagers are concern with. They speak their language of concern. That's why they are the leader making use of the abundant natural resources of the country and the hard work of others who pay taxes to keep them dancing. Village people have no concept or understanding of what qualifications are for. They think qualifications are for the dogs. After all how much qualifications do you need to run a village. That's why Malaysia is run like a village. The country can afford to throw money away because of its rich natural resources and the type C tax payer. He was given the finance minister post, education and DPM post by anither glorified villager who was afraid he might support PAS. He has his ego swell with all those political blue chips position that vetaran UMNO gang dream of. That's why he insists on being the finance minister. All the village people don't see why a person who graduated in Malay Studies can't run as finance minister in Kampong Malaysia.

If you are any good, it really shows. Look at the contribution of a former United nation Singapore diplomate like Kishore Mahbubani in his speaking and writing? What about PMX? The problem and blunder of a soul like PMX can be seen in light of these three long enduring quotations from wisdom of the ages. PMX does well, if he just consciously makes an effort to appreciate and understand the meaning and significance of these weighty words:-

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ”

― Alvin Toffler (4 Oct 1928- 27 June 2016)

He who will not reason, is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who dares not is a slave. Sir William Drummond (26 Sept 1769-29 March 1828)

. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached. Simone Weil (3 February 1909 - 24 August 1943)

May history judge him kindly after he is gone.
