In this "Bolehland" of ours, the cries of "Malaysia Boleh" are frequently heard whenever Malaysians achieve a Malaysian first (never mind that many others may have done it before), the longest, the tallest, the biggest and so on. Very recently, "Malaysia Boleh" rang out loud and clear when swimmer Abdul Malik Mydin became the first Malaysian to swim the English Channel last week. A few days earlier, similar cries were heard on learning of the possibilty of there being a first Malaysian in space by 2005. The list of "Malaysia Boleh" firsts is very long and can fill volumes. They include first Waja in the North Pole, first Malaysian in the South Pole, first Malaysian sailing round the world, first Malaysians up Everest, the world's tallest building, the longest satay, the biggest Jalur Gemilang, for the rest please go to the "Malayisan Book of Records".
We should also have a list for "Yang Tak Boleh Patut Boleh" (YTBPB) to remind ourselves of what we should be really trying to achieve and strive for. This list of YTBPB could include the following ::
1. Well built computer labs which do not have collapsible roofs 2. Control of flash floods in KL, Penang and now Putra Kurang Jaya 3. Corruption eradication with an incorruptible civil service and politicians 4. Poverty eradication 5. Potable water and electric supply for all schools 6. Low cost housing for all in need of it 7. University places for all eligible 8. No toll increase every 5 years 9. An efficient polis force with lowest crime rates 10.Clean public toilets without the need for CCTVs.
