Din't even ride bicycle. Just ride on my family's cars.
To be honest, among countries in South East Asia, we are not really doing so badly. Singapore is doing better of course but compared to other countries we are quite okay. Well, other than Singapore, I'll say that Vietnam seems to be doing quite well recently.
But then again, we don't have occasional political turmoil like Thailand or Indonesia and we're not as under developed like Laos, Cambodia, Myanmmar.
I'm not saying Malaysia is doing very well but we can't be comparing ourselves with superpowers like China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, France, USA and so on. Malaysia is still a relatively new country compared to these long established countries.
You mentioned about a child scoring 40% in class but compared himself with kindergarten kids and say if they took the same paper, he will be #1 in class. You mentioned class. Do you think we are in the same "class" with other superpowers? We are still considered as a former colonized country that is still in development unlike those countries who are considered as developed. They are already in another level compared to us.
