"We owe much of our progress to the wisdom of our past leaders. We now see before us the considerable challenges of the future, in particular the accomplishment of Vision 2020, as laid out by Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad about 15 years ago. We have a mere 15 years to go, as we embark upon the second phase of the journey to 2020. We must now lay the foundations to make the shift to become a developed nation, a process that involves a comprehensive and almost system-wide change to the way we do things in the country. Most importantly, it involves nurturing a positive set of values, mentality, and cultures in Malaysia, as well as discarding old habits and “addictions” that may stand in the way of progress."
