10 Reasons why Malaysians are simple minded and ignorants.

1) We travelled less. I know since the airport shifted so far and the passport fees increased some years ago, many people rather not travel overseas. So we don't get to see how well other countries improved. I know of people who have not been to Singapore for 10 over years when a 2 way bus ticket cost less than 80 rm. Most people have not even been to Thailand.

2) We believed too much on our government in the past. Mahathir used to tell us we are lucky and we believed. So we are trained to be contended and dont need to improve attitude.

3) Our currency dropped. In the past, Malaysians always go to Singapore, since our value dropped so much, Singapore become too expensive to visit. 

4) Our education standard and level dropped. Naturally, when teachers dropped, students dropped. When students dropped, our future people dropped. When people dropped, mentally dropped.

5) The rich ones and the smart ones mostly left and don't come back. Left behind the simple minded ones.

6) We are poor. We don't have the money or extra time to learn. Buying books cost money. Surfing net cost time. Especially when a big majority of our income already went into the car, leaving us poor or broke. So most people are busy finding ways to subsidize their income, leaving them no spare time to understand politics or the government. So more ignorants.

7) We are groomed to be stupid and simple minded. Look at our newspapers news. We are always fed with stupid news of politicians blaming on each other's personal affairs instead of pointing to the party or the chief.. So much so that we don't know how to vote for the right party eventually.

8) Our newspapers never educate us. In foreign countries, newspapers is the.main source of education and knowledge for their adult citizens. Here, we mostly read government propaganda, political fights and crimes.

9) We are not trained or encouraged to learn from foreigners. We are always brainwashed to think that the advanced countries have a bad culture or bad influence on us. The only foreign policy we are encouraged was "look east" but that was actually an excuse to promote cronyism and privatisation of government jobs.

10) We are trained to be jealous of countries who are better than us but always encouraged to be compared with countries behind us. So slowly our mentality went behind and become simple.
