CHANGE IN MALAYSIA
Nezia Azmi
Jakarta, Indonesia
 

If Dr. Mahathir Mohamad is not deemed good enough to lead Malaysia with 2020 Vision, please, give me just one other person who can match his integrity.  In the end, booing the government, threatening peace through street demonstrations, and claiming that Islam allows cursing will send only one message to the people and the outside world: We are falling apart.

The youth is a vital component of Malaysia's future - they should be spending time studying instead of demonstrating and casting suspicion.  We have to keep up with the rest of the world.  There is more than one way of making change, and we do not have to do it the way others do.  Moving forward is going to take more than throwing out the current government and satisfying the impulse to blame someone else - be it the government or the West.
