(to all haters, scram. i dont need you here)
He was intelligent indeed.
And im scared that Malaysia will never again see the likes of Tun M.
When people speculated and questioned his decision to start an organization, producing our own national cars, they said :
"How the hell are we gonna produce cars when we cant even produce something as small as needles?"
He replied:"If we can produce cars, how hard can it be to produce needles?"
And when everybody else was busy selling out their countries to the IMF (International Monetary Fund), he was dead determined that we could survive without the foreign help. And surprisingly to others, we did.
Instead of succumbing to the Western investors whose plan was to buy our Ringgit many times over, resulting in an increase of our Ringgit value (and thus, giving them the absolute power over our country), Tun tied our Ringgit instead.
Ringgit Malaysia could no longer be taken out of the country (well, they could, but in mild moderation of course) and this pretty much restrained the foreigners from playing with our currency as if they were Play-Doh.
Smart move, indeed. Im scared in behalf of the country if never again will Malaysia's politician be as smart as Che Det was. Im afraid that there wont be a scrap of nationalists in our generation.
Should that prediction ever come true, im afraid i would have to turun padang (cheewah, berangan).
p/s : now Mummy, arent you proud of me for blogging about intellectual issues for once? :)
