Malaysia Needs Thinkers?

Prime Minister Abdullah said Malaysia should create an Ulul Al-Bab community of between 5,000 and 10,000 scholars and thinkers in science and technology by 2020 to ensure the nation's success.

In defining Ulul Al-Bab, Pak Lah said these thinkers are those who know how to analyse natural occurrences and uses natural greatness for development purposes.

This group of thinkers will play the role in the development of the people and contributing to mankind.

"This is my aspiration," Pak Lah said.

Malaysia don't have thinkers? And we need 5,000-10,000 thinkers by 2020?

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Siok saja! I am still scratching my head! Even in Somali, Fiji and Papua New Guinea, nobody, no government ever need to worry about 5,000 thinkers with a capability to analyze natural occurrences. You walk into Genting Bhd and Resort World, there are more than 5,000 thinkers. In Malaysia, we have millions of thinkers - people who can analyze natural occurrences and play the role in contributing to the people and mankind.

The suggestion that we should have 5,000 thinkers by the year 2020, that is, 13 years from now, that is, 380 thinkers per year. The public universities enrolled more than 120,000 students each year and each year, more than 200,000 graduates are "manufactured". And the PM is suggesting we manufacture 380 thinkers a year and in 13 years, we would have 5,000 thinkers to form an Ulul Al-Bab Community.

Visit Malaysia and see how stupid we are. If we aren't then, someone is.

Is he trying to suggest that Level 4-Putrajaya is the community of Ulul Al-Bab thinkers? And they are analyzing natural occurences and contributing to mankind? and Payment in Kind? What Kind? $500 million funds to help????

New breed of intellectuals? Judging by the word 'Ulul Al-Bab, I can conclude it's targeted at certain people of certain faith.

Nay, nay, those 'intellectuals' romping about in Genting won't do. Those are sinners...Kafirs?

Pak Lah has it all confused. Al-Bab in reality refers to Ali Baba, the Thief of Baghdad who has only 40 thieves. And according to Pak Lah, Ali Baba needs 5,000-10,000 thieves by 2020 to cope with the American occupation of Iraq. This has absolutely nothing to do with the Arabisation of Malaysia. After all, Malaysia is truly Asia, NOT truely Arabia.

We used to say, "u banyak ulu lah". By that, we meant backward or out-of-fashion. So, this has any relation to what we said?

A dumb fella like Pak Lah will never give up.

He needs more than what the 4th Floor currently has to back him up... he very well aware that he is losing grip over the country, its direction and possibly now worry about a coup by the DPM too... one could never under estimate the Najib Family.

More rakyats prefer to have Najib and Tun Razak background to run the nation.

The Black Boy SIL failed to secure Mat Rempits supports to back him and his ageing Half-Past-Sick Daddy-In-Law; now he suggesting for 5k to 10k newly created scheme of supports.

Dont worry that he'll apportion some cash / fund to meet this scheme; out of which will go to its other pockets....

Maybe our PM needs money to buy a USS Nimitz, bigger than Cobra Sultan.

He is losing support and obviously not happy with the current affair.

Rest assured, his days are numbered... self-inflected pressure may cause him anything disasterous!

Good luck, Mr. Liar - Mr. PM....

Pak Lah seems to, yet again, keep coming up with strategies and visions. He should instead look into better execution of existing policies.

as usual, us malays are often all talk and no action. shameful indeedy!

To be a noble human being is to from a amiable of openness to the mankind, an skill to trusteeship uncertain things beyond your own manage, that can govern you to be shattered in hugely extreme circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something exceedingly impressive about the fettle of the righteous autobiography: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a jewel, something fairly dainty, but whose very item beauty is inseparable from that fragility.
