just because of a few billionaires present in this failed state, the country pathetic and poverty due to the majority of the masses' failure to think,learn and reason for themselves, the sorry state of politics, economic and education cannot be reversed even in the next two decades. The keys to reverse the decline and deterioration of further current state of affairs confronting this ruined nation lies in the ability to of the power that be, the PM, government leaders, educators and intelligencia to teach the man on the street these three aspects of matured persons who are capable of three mental, emotional exercises:-
1.“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)
2.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)
3. 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)
Education that leads to true freedom should focus on these three aspects of life.
"The only skill that will be important in the 21st century is the skill of learning new skills. Everything else will become obsolete over time." ~ Peter Drucker(19 Nov 1909-11 Nov 2005)
The crisis in education, health care,social ills and other crisis plaguing the country is to face reality and truth.
"Humans fear reason, but they ought to fear stupidity- for reason can be hard, but stupidity can be fatal." ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"In the sciences, the authority of thousands of opinions is not worth as much as one tiny spark of reason in an individual man." ~ Galileo Galilei( February 15, 1564-: January 8, 1642)
To reverse the downward decline of this nation is almost an impossible challenge. As expressed by this Machiavelli quote:
“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones. ”
― Niccolò Machiavelli (3 May 1469 - 21 June 1527)
Fraud and deceit are held by Machiavelli as necessary for a prince to use.] Violence may be necessary for the successful stabilization of power and introduction of new political institutions. Force may be used to eliminate political rivals, to destroy resistant populations, and to purge the community of other men strong enough of a character to rule, who will inevitably attempt to replace the ruler. Machiavelli has become infamous for such political advice, ensuring that he would be remembered in history through the adjective, "Machiavellian".
Notice how this report contrasts sharply with Murray Hunter's and his guests' relentless portraying of Malaysia as a 'failed state', a racist state (note the number of Chinese billionaires (including thieves and those who've bribed lowly public servants to secure their contracts and licenses over others) compared to Malays.
