Micro-chips Heist in Malaysian airport.

Malaysia is welcome to one new Malaysian record...largest heist at an airport. Intel lost close to US$13 million early this week when robbers drove into the airport cargo complex and made off with that amount in computer chips and computer motherboards. The items were scheduled to be air freight to various destinations within a few hours after arriving into the airport.

Now, that is one of the highest value products to be lost in one swoop. And this is happening in Malaysia. Why am I not surprised?

Malaysia is one of the fastest developing nation in the world. This is good as the standard of living grows. There is also a huge potential for this nation as there is an abundance of land, minerals and argiculture.

Unfortunately, that is just it. There is the potential; nothing more. At least not until the government get off their chair of wanting the cake and eat it too. The government allows mediocrity to grow and actually lowers the standard to ensure that one particular race catches up to the others within the nation. And to ensure that no other races will grow faster, there is the requirement that the one race must have so much (30%) of the economic pie and so on.

Ultimately, when you set the bar low, you get monkeys working for you. Of course, there are some diamonds and some gold nuggets that will surface. Unfortunately too many fools gold are dug up and it is unfortunate that these are the ones that will continue to hound and bay for financial support in order to make it in the world. To them, the world is Malaysia and nothing else.

If it sounds like the dark ages, do not be surprised. Where else but in Malaysia can you find politicians saying that it is perfectly alright to build buildings without permits (when it is the law) and then indicate the others has vengence on their mind when this is discovered. And that such buildings should not be penalize because everyone else is doing it.

Imagine, it is alright not to pay taxes since everyone else is doing it. It is alright to drive without a care because everyone else is doing it.

I do not see myself visiting Malaysia anytime soon. It is too dangerous. Anarchy is coming.
