Malaysia Boleh?

Malaysian always Malaysia Boleh in events, from the leaders to the laymen, but how many of us truly think that Malaysia Boleh in our heart when we are soaring the slogan?

We have our national car, but we rely on Japan technology to manufacture a car. Can we manufacture a car without any foreign technology? Can we invent our very own technology? Can we have our truly own national car? We will never know unless and until one miracle day Malaysian willing to take this brave step to stop relying on foreign technologies.

We have our own national spaceman. But is he the real spaceman? He was merely following others spaceship to go to outer space. He was merely spaceship-pooling. People call that a passenger. We don't think thats anything worth to be bragged about.

We have our own twin tower, proudly to be bragged as the world's tallest twin tower. Yes, i think its beautiful especially at night, it looks like two lighted corns. It is indeed the landmark of Kuala Lumpur. It is indeed a beauty at night and day. But is it built by our own? It was a contribution of Haitian engineer, Argentine designer, Japanese consortium, and Korean contractors on our land. Yes, it was built by using our money, tax payers' money. But do we want it? I don't know, because I was still a kid back then when it was built. But the people has very little say. It doesn't matter what we want, as long as the government thinks that it is for our country's good, they will do it anyways. The best example to be raised at this point is the rare earth plant which was being opposed by almost 99% of the local residents of Kuantan since it was proposed,but still being built in great progress now. They don't seems to care the public voice. We are the residents, we are the one who are going to be affected after all. And yet we are so trivial to them. And look, we are a democratic country!

We also have the marvelous KL International Airport. Yes, it is nicely built, it is new and big and.. well.. beautiful. But look, not much plane want to pay to stopover at this marvellous nicely built airport. They don't think it worth the high rate charged despite the building is utterly beautiful. And people rather go to the cargo-like-looking LCCT than this huge and beautiful KLIA. Why? I guess every Malaysian knows.

And now we want a nuclear plants as if we are facing shortage of electric power. And yet the brilliant Bakun Dam which proposed to supply overdose electric power compared to the amount we need is yet to be built. Maybe they are meant to have something more other than supplying electric power? I don't know, because I hate science.

Anyways, despite what we think, I believe all of us, As Malaysian really hope that we can proudly tell the world that ' We are Malaysians, Malaysia Boleh!' without embarrassed feeling. We want what we  need, we want what we truly want.
