'We must focus on Malaysia’s problems and how we solve them.' - Ivanpal Singh Grewal

He asked why some Malaysians think Malaysia is doing so poorly as a country when the data and economic indicators tell a different story.

The less critical-thinking Malaysians swallow this “Malaysia is a failed state” narrative hook, line and sinker. Malaysia is also probably one of the most diverse nations globally – ethnically, religiously, linguistically and geographically. Managing this diversity is a challenge, and less diverse countries have failed.

All of this tells us something – every country has its good points and not so good points. Each country is unique in its way of doing things. Each country has its problems, and it will need to find its solutions.In May 2018, Malaysians took a leap of faith and witnessed the country's first change of government since independence. Despite being on the losing side, I said back then, I continue to believe it was a good thing that it happened.

Further, Malaysia attracted RM148bil in approved investment in the electrical and electronics industry with 75 capital-intensive projects valued at RM100mil or more.Austria’s AT&S chose Malaysia for its first manufacturing plant in South-East Asia. AT&S is a global leader in printed circuit board manufacturing and integrated circuit substrates.

Most importantly, the government must work harder to ensure fairer income distribution, lessening the economic disparities, eradicating corruption and future-proofing against pandemics and climate disasters.
