Some thoughts on Malaysia, the only country I have.

one thing that bugs every young mind in Malaysia : whether to go on, or not?
some may say this is our country, some say 'chehh why bother? earn hard enough to go overseas larh!'
yes, there is still room for improvements,
lots of issues to be commented
and a whole bunch of problems that trigger wars

yes, there are areas which we need to fix
economy, politics, and our own social problems
not forgetting one crucial area that shapes the future of the nation : education

If I am given a chance,
yes, I will definitely invest in education and research
not segregating students based on their results or performance, but to merge everyone in a class
teach the teachers not to judge students by their academic performance, and yes, lessen the stiffness of competition in grades.
it might be irrelevant, some might say : 'what for study so hard, not getting recognized?' (Cina Apek-ish)
well, this is hard, changing the mentality of our people is one big challenge
but if I study hard enough
think thoroughly enough
work smart enough
I might have a chance to draft the nation's education policies
to bear the responsibilities of failing
to withstand the pressure from other parties
to be adventurous enough to change

This is what a small head with big dreams can do for my country, in 20 years time.
If I am given a chance, and if I'm quick enough to earn that chance.
