How to make this country great

When we read the papers today all we read about is about politics. The powers that be do not seem to appreciate fully the threat of the economic crisis. This is a clear sign that the leaders are not matured and not competent to lead the nation to heights of greatness. At a time when there is a need for unity, the leaders of the ruling party keep emphasising on disunity- they play politics to disunite the people.

I propose the following be acted upon to make this country great:-

The introduction of a new economic policy, where all citizens of the country are regarded as equal and a policy that distributes wealth equally and reduces the gap between the rich and the poor........ implementation of policies which pay special attention to the poor and those who are lagging behind the rest.......the introduction of anti discimination laws with strict punishment on those who discriminate.........the introduction of a race relations Act with strict punishment on those who are racists and implement policies that divide based on race...the abolishment of UMNO, MIC and MCA in short the end of any party that is based on race....the introduction of a policy based on merit in the public and private sector (including education) which rewards those who are competent, have talent and ability regardless of race, sex or creed.....the abolishment of any or policies and laws that divide the peoples- that means the end of special rights for certain peoples, the end of the special rights of the people in Sabah and Sarawak, that means equal opportunity for education, trade and making of wealth for all citizens in any of the states in this country......the introduction of special muhibbah companies (instead of bumiputera companies) comprising of specially qualified persons of all races to be sent overseas to invest just like what Temasik does for Singapore........the establishment of a specialised sports body comprising of the only the best sportsmen and sportswomen and qualified young and dynamic persons to ensure that glory is brought back to the nation through sport, in particular football, hockey and badminton..........the implementation of a new education policy where Bahasa Malaysia can be the medium of instruction in national schools but where all students will have to study English, Mandarin and Tamil as well. Other languages can be offered as options as well. All students should also be required to attend philosophy classes where they are thought the fundamentals of Islam, Hindusm, Chrisitianity, Buddhism, Confuciousim, Sikhism- all faiths that exist in this multiracial country...........the implementation of a financial system that is dynamically caring and compassionate to all......the abolishment of religous, tamil and chinese schools as this divides rather than unites. However the attactive and good policies used in these schools will be carried over to the national schools..........To open this country to foreigners who want to do business without imposing any quota or restrictive policies on them, to allow them very special incentives so that they choose to invest here rather than any other country in Asia...........To invite qualified or talented foreigners to come to this country and practice their trade or share their talents by serving our communities........To implement policies that encourage and promote healthy competition rather than restrict competition........To abolish all protectionism policies........To prevent our talented and qualified citizens from migrating or working overseas. To attract those who are overseas back to the country with attractive policies.........the political will to have a free media and press......the political will to have a free and independent judiciary........ the political will to have a free and independent Attorney General Chambers and Anti Corruption Agency.......The political will to distribute wealth and development to all states equally........The political will to produce citizens who have high ideals and moral courage...The political will to prosecute all those who have siphoned off the country's wealth in the past and to recover this lost wealth to the people....To implement the policy of 'Bersih Cekap dan Amanah' but this time to do it correctly once and for all...To start negotiations to bring Singapore back to Malaysia and to invite Brunei to join us too.

The leaders of this country seem not to want the above proposals to be implemented. Instead they seem adamant to put obstacles to their implementation. Their conduct shows they do not have the intention of making this country great, rather they think of how to make themselves great and rich..It is a recipe for disaster for this nation in the long run.
