Well, the fact speaks for itself ! Thailand , Myanmar , Indonesia ,
Phillipines, and Singapore are way ahead of Malaysia . Despite all our
constant shouting of Malaysia boleh this and that, and all the emotional rhetorics of shiok sendiri and self denials, we are already an academic backwaters nation in South East Asia , I shake my head..

Gone are the days before 1976 when University of Malaya is the pride in SE Asia and during those days University of Singapore is University of Malaya ! Ever since the Bumiputras took over with their NEP and special privileges, the standard of education in Malaysia has gone down the drains ! Now with the reemergence of Malay as the medium of instruction, we should expect the worse to come when English will become the universal academic, technical and business language. Lots of plegiarism amongst the Bumiputra academics.
