We Could End Up Backwards, Not Reaching Vision 2020.

Back in the early 90's, Tun Mahathir spoke of Vision 2020. The nine aims spelt out were:
  1. Mewujudkan negara Malaysia bersatu yang mempunyai matlamat yang dikongsi bersama: Malaysia mesti menjadi sebuah negara yang aman, berintegrasi di peringkat wilayah dan kaum, hidup dalam keharmonian, bekerjasama sepenuhnya secara adil, dan terdiri daripada satu bangsa Malaysia yang mempunyai kesetiaan politik dan dedikasi kepada negara.
  2. Mewujudkan sebuah masyarakat yang berjiwa bebas, tenteram dan maju, dengan keyakinan akan keupayaan sendiri, berbangga dengan apa yang ada, dengan apa yang telah dicapai, cukup gagah menghadapi pelbagai masalah. Masyarakat Malaysia ini mesti dapat dikenali melalui usaha mencapai kecemerlangan, amat sedar akan semua potensinya, tidak mengalah kepada sesiapa, dan dihormati oleh rakyat negara lain.
  3. Mewujudkan dan membangunkan masyarakat demokratik yang matang, yang mengamalkan satu bentuk demokrasi Malaysia yang mempunyai persefahaman matang, berasaskan masyarakat yang boleh menjadi contoh kepada beberapa banyak negara membangun.
  4. Mewujudkan masyarakat yang sepenuhnya bermoral dan beretika, dengan warganegaranya teguh dalam nilai agama dan kerohanian dan didukung oleh nilai etika paling tinggi.
  5. Mewujudkan masyarakat liberal dan bertolak ansur, dengan rakyat Malaysia pelbagai kaum bebas mengamalkan adat, kebudayaan, dan kepercayaan agama mereka dan pada masa yang sama meletakkan kesetiaan mereka kepada satu negara.
  6. Mewujudkan masyarakat saintifik dan progresif, masyarakat yang mempunyai daya perubahan tinggi dan berpandangan ke depan, yang bukan sahaja menjadi pengguna teknologi tetapi juga penyumbang kepada tamadun sains dan teknologi masa depan.
  7. Mewujudkan masyarakat penyayang dan budaya menyayangi, iaitu sistem sosial yang mementingkan masyarakat lebih daripada diri sendiri, dengan kebajikan insan tidak berkisar pada negara atau orang perseorangan tetapi di sekeliling sistem keluarga yang kukuh.
  8. Memastikan masyarakat yang adil dalam bidang ekonomi. Ini merupakan masyarakat yang melaksanakan pengagihan kekayaan negara secara adil dan saksama, dengan wujudnya perkongsian sepenuhnya bagi setiap rakyat dalam perkembangan ekonomi.
  9. Mewujudkan masyarakat makmur yang mempunyai ekonomi bersaing, dinamik, giat dan kental.
But then, we might want to consider or see where vision 2020 mission is now considering of the following remarks by certain UMNO people during the general assembly:

Musa Sheikh Fadzir, Bukit Mertajam, Penang

“People always say don’t play money politics. But this is a political organisation. If we don’t have money, how are we supposed to come to this AGM in Kuala Lumpur? Those days, an application for a taxi permit would require the endorsement of an Umno branch or division chief. If the branches and divisions are strong, then Umno will be strong again.”
Did you know most F&B for the UMNO delegates are free for them. The question here is that most of the money sponsored for food, accommodation and etc comes indirectly from tax payers money. And examine the statement above - application requiring endorsement from an UMNO chief. Does that also mean of NEP being misused, and UMNO man wanting a slice of the pie for the hard work you've done while they didn't work a single thing?
Hasnoor Sidang Hussin, Bukit Katil, Malacca

“High-ranking appointments in government-linked companies and higher learning institutions should be reserved for Umno members. So, just like the president said about returning Umno to its roots, let’s bring Umno back to its glory days where we controlled everything.”

He also urged the government to ensure that only Umno loyalists be appointed to senior positions in public universities. “Please make sure the faculty members are all Umno men, and the same goes for other civil servants.”
This is a bigger problem. As Hisham Rais said, cap Melayu doesn't gurantee excellence out of it. It is the capability and skill set that is the first and foremost more important than Malay first than etc.. when PKNS choses a non-Malay to run the top post, idiots scream why not Malay and etc..this is bullshit and when the greater evil roams around, there is no time for such idiosyncracies like this Hasnoor asshole.
Johor Umno Wanita chief Halimah Sadique

“They have questioned the social contract, Malay rights and Malay rulers’ privileges, and the lies do not stop there.”
That day I saw a pic of this gadis cun and I thought she could be an MT member. But given of the statement there, I thought otherwise. Every human being makes mistakes and saying this statement is bragging that certain group of people are omnipotent, every thing must be right and so on. But then, there are some things that can be wrong to the opinion of the majority. If you don't get up and point out the error, people end up making more mistakes that needs more time and resources to correct!
Kelantan delegate Mohd Affendi Yusof

“Umno has been very lenient and patient towards Pakatan’s antics. In Islam, there is no forgiveness for those who commit treason against the sultan. The sultan is considered as God’s representative on earth.”

“Now is not the time for Umno to be soft and patient. It is time the party uses force to crush Pakatan Rakyat. We cannot be soft anymore. We must use force. And we will use it immediately after the annual general assembly ends.”
Feudal mentality. Period. People make mistakes.

Tun Mahathir outlined the nine objectives. The nine objectives require a real open mindset and to achieve the objectives, you need to have people acting as Bangsa Malaysia, not as Malay, Chinese, or Indian. That mentality is more of minding your own business. The worst of the offenders is Hasnoor who said that must be Malays first. In this time, there is no such thing as that. Saying that is tantamount to going back to feudal times or as a Nazi man. And the remarks above means / implies that Hasnoor and Halimah doesn't want and refused the Bangsa Malaysia idea.

To the four of you, grow up. Vision 2020 is destined to fail if you people keep thinking of such thing. Were if I am a Russian Commissar and in World War Two, I could be executing the four of you for walking one step backwards. This is 2009, bukan 1509!
