  • Singapore with a population of 10% of those Malaysia gained almost 25% more gold medals than Malaysia.

    Obviously the last few years Malaysia is on declining state in every aspect of our life.

    Do we want to leave a worse Malaysia to our children or grandchildren than what he have now.?

    Probably time to vote Umno and BN out from our political system to prevent these malaise from continuing.
