A Long Term View: Malaysia vs Indonesia

I was reading this article at the Malaysian Insider:
The View from Middle Malaysia

Karin Raslan makes a very important and significant point regarding Indonesia:

We’re so used to it being the sick man of South-east Asia... But what emerged from the financial crisis is the importance of critical mass and size. Indonesia has that and investors are realising that they have to be there for future growth.


Malaysia's present course of upholding the NEP is disaster in the long term. Malay rights will cause Malaysia to become extraordinarily uncompetitive against its huge neighbour in the long term.

Today we see Indonesians migrating illegally to Malaysia, there may come a day where Malaysians migrate to Indonesia illegally.

Perhaps our Malay brothers should push for our education to be in Bahasa Indonesia rather than Bahasa Malaysia.
