We Are a 3rd World Country

Progress is not solely about prosperity.
Nor buildings that look pretty
You may have the KLCC.
But some places like Penang are still dirty.
So you are still a 3rd world country because of your mentality.
You try to beat the queue to get a taxi.
And don’t even bother about road courtesy.
Not to mention parking indiscriminately.
Without signalling you overtake randomly.
And abusing lanes for emergency.
Rising deaths on the roads is how you celebrate festivity.

You created the MSC.
To emulate Silicon Valley.
You talk about high technology.
To preach about the PC.
But yet broadband is denied to many.
You also can’t supply stable electricity.
Your roads have potholes and are bumpy.
And tyres fall off your LRT.
So this is Malaysian quality.
Let’s create the best schools, roads and toilets in the country.
Are what Malaysia Boleh should strive to be.
But instead Malaysia Boleh is so funny.
You break records just to make yourself feel happy.
Decades passed but this mentality
I still see.
Will this carry on till the next century?
Or will this change when we turn 80?
You are helpless and just let it be
Let it be.
Will tomorrow be better for you and me?
15 years from now come 2020.
If this goes on you will still be
Just another 3rd world country
because of your mentality.
These changes we hope to see
under the leadership of PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi!

- i can’t say that i notice a lot of change under Pak Lah yet. only a rise in petty issues…
