Needless to say, Malaysia is endowed with natural resources.

Compliment is good. But too much of it causes fatigue too. At many international meets, I often get the comments that Malaysia is so blessed with rubber, oil palm, petro, gas etc. So much so that I sometimes wonder if these foreigners are actually asking: “Tell me, why is the country still lagging behind in terms of human resources and technological innovation, while being beset with chronic corruption in almost all sectors?”
