AMERICA'S slowing down, i wouldn't say decline, as they are still tops in many strategic field, isn't because of toxic politics, but boils down to talent.
NUMBERS don't lie , READ : In 1975 about one out of every twelve inventors in America was foreign-born, but by 2019 that number is about one of every three and a half.
IN Malaysia, when we talk about talent and spots it's about shameless incident involving FAM and FIFA, but many have forgotten how we rejected a man living in Malaysia, earning a wage in Malaysia and married to a Malaysian was rejected.
BUT Malaysians are talented too. Take for instance Nga Kor Ming, the Housing Minister who is super talented that under him the Kreditkomuniti (money lending business ) business have beaten all all expectations grown by few hundreds percent, beating banks modest loan growth by thousands of per cent.
NGA Kor Ming rarely talks about READ : how the Kreditkomuniti business grew to RM24 billion since he took over but instead blows his trumpet READ : on toilets.
DO I think Nga Kor Ming is a modest man? NO, he comes across as aloof, arrogant and a hot head.
THOSE who loves sports, will tell you the story of the 1988 Seoul Olympics 100 meter race, and how over time the world found out all the favourites were juiced up and only the guy who got caught red handed, Ben Johnson paid the price .
