2nd Finance Minister: Malaysians just aren't good enough O.O

Quick note to put on the record how truly ridiculous Zunar’s arrest and his being bounced around various police stations was. This is how paranoid BN hegemony has become – literally fearing their shadows (cartoons and candles).
TMI:
Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah painted a bleak future today for the Asian private equity and venture capital industry due to a shortage of local talent and knowledge.
Ahmad Husni said that although private equity was an ideal financing source for developing economies, Asia did not possess the critical mass of such resources to produce a sustainable pipe line of deals in the information and communication technology (ICT) and bio-technology industries.
“Asia, as yet, do not have the pool of talent and institutionalised knowledge and technology that have accumulated over the last several decades in the west,” said Ahmad Husni in his speech at the third Islamic Venture Capital and Private Equity conference today.
I can’t tell you how much I hate it when our leaders spout loser talk >:(
WTF kind of nonsense is this?! “Oh, we’re just not as talented and smart as Westerners”
My response to that? NAH!!! ..|..
I wonder if our friend Ahmad Husni ever thought of a scenario wherein we might have sufficient talent and brains – one perhaps where, oh I don’t know, OUR BEST BRAINS HAVEN’T FLED THE COUNTRY??
And I think we all know why our best and brightest have turned their backs on Malaysia.
Sometimes you think: who can blame them from being unable to take the corruption, the racialisation of politics, and the abysmal quality of leadership – leadership that doesn’t even have faith in their own citizens.
I think I’ve had the good fortune to interact with individuals and institutions that are second to none. Never in my entire life have I felt that Malaysians were inferior in any way.
If anything, the only thing I feel is extreme and enduring frustration that talented and brilliant Malaysians of all races – Malaysians I truly feel would be extremely competitive on the global scene – are never given the support and encouragement they need to excel.
Instead, we have a government that has ‘wisely’ figured out that the best way for them to stay in power is to keep the rakyat stupid >:(
NAH!!!! ..|..
ps- was told that these comments a critique by the World Bank on Malaysia. So he decided to try and belittle Asia. So stupid. “The second finance minister’s remarks follows a World Bank report which said that Malaysia is lacking in investment in human and physical capital, leading to domestic savings greatly exceeding domestic investment.”
