Aiming for High Income Nation with Third World Mindset

Reading your report, 'firebomb thrown at UKM's student's house', and looking at the picture shown therein, it immediately struck my mind that, while we are trying our level best to be a "high income nation" by 2020, most of us are still mired in mindsets of a third world nation.

First, the Molotov cocktail thrown at a rival's house show that young Malaysians have not learnt to compete fairly and honestly, and most do it better through intimidation and hostile acts. This should never be condoned, and the authorities must come down hard on the culprits.
Second, the photo attached to the report showed a house porch filled with garbage, showing that our University students are not bothered with basic cleanliness at all, and littering is a 'way of life'. That is really sad!
I am not sure whether we should be more ashamed and horrified with the violence shown by the students , or with their dirty habits!
God save our nation!


Worrying: A portion of the porch which is now damaged and (inset) the note which Aishah found on the windshield of a housemate’s car.

Students unable to compete fairly
