Why Malaysia Should Stop Trying To Be A High-Income Nation

Malaysia government building


Just recently, at the Barisan National Open House in Penang, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak reiterated his government's stand to make Malaysia a high-income nation by 2020.

By this, I assume the government means that it intends either to push up our income levels to "rich" levels, or create a much larger class of wealthy people compared to what we have today

While it is certainly comforting to dream about our future lives of fat pockets, fast cars and large bank accounts, this mindset is, to put plainly, foolish.

Catholicism and Politics

Editor's note: This is not an easy post to write or post. The following is merely an opinion piece by the writer and may or may not reflect actual realities.

In the past, Suburban KID had disclaimers like the above too. Today, there are two core differences: i) It's posted at the top, and not with smaller-case words like before, and ii) This time I might actually need it.

All topics that I write about are usually quite close to my heart. That's the whole point of this blog, isn't it?  But sometimes, there are things that are best remained...unsaid, for the sake of "peace and harmony".

Today, no more holding back. I am writing this as an independent blogger, a young church-goer and, most importantly, a concerned Catholic.
