Fitch: Politics will blunt Malaysia's economic growth for next 10 years

Kim Quek: The root cause of all the evils bedevilling Malaysia is racism. It breeds corruption and taboos meritocracy which in turn causes mediocrity, brain drain, low productivity and social dissension.

With politics long reduced to a game of inciting racial and religious bias and hatred, Malaysia has been and will continue to be ruled by corrupt and incompetent leaders unless this vicious chain is broken by a reformist regime.

Malaysia had its first taste of reforms when Pakatan Harapan won the election in 2018, but the Harapan rule was soon hijacked through an illegitimate coup inspired by its prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who is an incurable racist.

Now, the country is fortunate to have another crack at reforms through the gallant intervention of Harapan’s reformist leader Anwar Ibrahim who has declared that he has secured the support of the majority of MPs to be sworn in as the next PM.

Let us hope and pray that Anwar will be successful in his current attempt to lead the country out of the current quagmire of perpetual misrule.

CH Y: No matter how you spin and twist the facts, the incessant politicking in Malaysia is caused primarily by Perikatan Nasional (PN), Umno, PAS, MCA, MIC, and rebels from Harapan who did not respect the democratic process and executed the Sheraton Move.

They are now causing constant instability where the government is dependent on party-hopping politicians.

As stated before, the right to association under the Federal Constitution means that immediately after a general election in our Westminster-style democracy, you can haggle to form a coalition government.

The bargaining can be done by contesting political parties to seek a majority to form federal and state governments.

However, this is different from the current “frog” situation, where individual MPs are enticed to change parties.

One: Does anyone care about Malaysia’s economic growth for the next 10 years?

As long as their favourite politicians take care of their race and religion, and giving them some subsidies or pocket money, everyone seems happy. But their children and the next generation will suffer.

And these people, who are really sensitive about their race and religion, do not see it as their responsibility to worry about all our children in this country.

The smarter parents are sending their children to international schools, studying the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) syllabus.

Even the Sarawak state government is going for the IGCSE syllabus, giving the Education Ministry a slap in the face.

In the end, sadly, the rich will escape stupidity, but the poor will get stupider and poorer.

Lionking: It is okay if Malaysia’s economic growth is blunt, I guess. As long as the politicians are getting richer and richer, their families are having a ball of a time.

Some of them even own swimming pools so if the people of Sabah ever need water, just drop by at Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Bung Moktar Radin’s swimming pool. He is a changed man and may assist you.

Some politicians have hundreds of vehicles, some have luxurious watches and bags. And with the kind of education policies made for the masses, graduates will be suitable for setting up roadside stalls.

AnotherKomentar: Structurally, the unreformed Malaysian economy will suffer from "low quality" growth compare to other emerging Southeast Asian economies.

Malaysia is already being ignored by international investment with Vietnam, the Philippines and Thailand being the preferred destinations for high technologies, manufacturing and service industries.

Mechi: People, we better get ready for Malaysia to be another Pakistan. In 1947, during the separation, both India and Pakistan were on a strong footing. Today, Pakistan is doomed like Malaysia with poor policies and a weak, corrupted top leadership.

Similarly, in 1965, Malaysia was slightly ahead of Singapore. Today, their dollar has risen three times, while institutional corruption in our country is rising faster than many African nations.

Can our leaders take responsibility and stop blaming the West and DAP (read: Chinese) for all our country’s problems? Sadly, PAS is the "new Umno", they now accept corruption as their culture.

Salvage Malaysia: Yes, I agree. Malaysia, despite being blessed with plenty of natural resources, will continue to be left behind.

The reasons? A weak education system, lack of technologically-skilled workers, too much politics, political leaders who are unable to formulate good economic policies, etc.

Singapore is 20 percent politics and 80 percent economy. Malaysia has been the opposite for many years now. Mahathir had a twice in a lifetime opportunity to run the country properly. Both times, he failed.

Two Come Out: Politicking alone does not hinder economic growth. In the US, the politics there may be worse than us, except they don't arrest opposition members as if they are terrorists supporting a defunct organisation.

The trick is, the civil administration must be filled with technocrats and brilliant people, which in US they have but in Malaysia we lack.

That’s the main reason a country prospers, not just because of stable politics. If stable politics ensures a country prospers then how come Russia is in doldrums?

BluePanther4725: PN will continue with their racist and religion-supremacist policies that will scare off all foreign investors and drive our Malaysian talents away.

We must get rid of them before they rot the country to rock bottom. If that happens, these rotten politicians will just emigrate from the country with their billions of ringgit.

We deserve a good, clean and competent government to make our lives better. We want shared prosperity, and our country's wealth should not only benefit a certain segment of the people. - Mkini
