Congrats NuclearPak, hope your Arsenal does well against Spurs this weekend :cool:

:usflag: and Japan.

Donations could get you there faster. Just saying :P

Thanks man but please do get the spelling right. It's Indonesia and Malaysia :P

Congrats, brah. I'm glad that you're still sane lol. Why did you post and then delete your post in my thread? Didn't have the chance to read it mate :P

Yes, the key word is moderation. No one is forced to follow a way of life that they don't want to here. You can see woman in short skirts and hijabs all in one area, and no one notices or makes an issue of anything. Our freedom is what makes me feel truely lucky to be Malaysian. There are...

Haha, hey man, don't get me wrong, I never said anything about losing faith in "Arabs", but the truth is, Arabs have a potential to be a lot better than what it currently is, if they kept their focus on the right things instead of fighting among themselves and wasting time on trivial matters...

And they're also naive enough to give it a German sounding name :P Atleast that's how it sounds to an ignorant person like me lol. It's not often seen, but i've seen it once or twice :)

Yes, it's not only about economics actually. The moderate mindset is what makes Malaysia very special. There has never been a terrorist act, nor a terrorist from Malaysia till now. Truely blessed we are :angel: HAAS is a Saudi brand? LOL i've seen them around and I always thought they...

Yes, I agree with this. I would really like to see Arab nations giving more importance to science and technology. The profit from oil could be used to fund researches and scientific studies and development. Arab world has ample potential, but they need to leave some of the more traditional...

LOL i'm not the PM of Malaysia and I'm definately not trying to offer anything. Just thought I'll place the article here for a good discussion :P Just of curiosity, what's your country of origin, mate?

Nah, oil is a great thing. But with the amount of oil you're having, your country really should be the leader of the world. The fact that you're not, just speaks for your own inefficiency. If the Chinese had the same amount of oil, by now they'll be ruling the world.

I'm sure you've heard of our previous PM, Dr. Mahathir. He was a great leader and used to speak out alot at OIC conventions and all. The current PM is a lot more quieter and prefers to mend the internal condition of the country first. And that's what my point is, before speaking out on...

Meh, your country has a ridiculous amount of oil. When it comes to business trade and development, is Arab really up to par with the Eastern world? (China, Japan, Korea or Singapore) And yes, I don't even have to start about the socio-politics of Arab nations :rolleyes: ---------- Post added...

What is the difference between a Turkish model and a Malaysian model anyway? Atleast currently, I think the country most similar, policies and economic wise to Malaysia in the Muslim world is Turkey.

From what I've been reading, Turkey is slowly heading down the path of Islamist politics. My point is, leave religion to the citizens to handle. Government's only concern should be the economics of the country. ---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM...

Turkey has a higher population, and the Malaysian ringgit slumped recently, that might have changed things.

I think you mis-understood it, mate. It's about the countries focus and top priority. "Two nations because it has emphasised economic growth, whereas Middle East regionalism has reinforced autocracy and sterile religio-political rhetoric against Israel." Most Malaysians are staunchly...

Aussie editor says Arab nations can learn from Malaysia, Indonesia MELBOURNE: Arab nations in tumult could learn much from East Asia's giants Indonesia and Malaysia, says The Australian newspaper's foreign editor, Greg Sheridan. In his highly-respected column Thursday, Sheridan who...
