Malaysia - a 3rd world developing country?
It still moves around in my mind, so I thought I’d better write it down. I can’t believe with how people can judge and argue about topics without ANY knowledge about what they are talking. That happened to me discussing in a message board of my student community Feki.de. In a topic about the study fees, that will be introduced in Germany I mentioned, that there is a problem with the possibilities to study in Malaysia (Of course I had in mind, that here Islamic people are preferred, and for the rest it might be almost impossible to get higher education). Immediately my discussion part took the argument of “problems” and said “since the poor Malay people have a very hard fate” and “it is a task for the western affluent society to urge our governments to act against a the unfair world economic, which puts third world countries into a persisting downward spiral”.
Malaysia a third world developing country, which needs help? How can he make such assumptions? Malaysia is an emerging country, and if people are poor here and need help – than it should be the governments task (which is immensely rich) to act against such social unfairness. Of course I wrote an answer stating the facts immediately. And guess – no further reply.. But I still can’t understand how it is possible to argue without any consideration of facts…
if anybody does at all.
