I wish Malaysia would be more well-known globally, as since I am a Malaysian studying overseas, a common question sparked amongst foreigners is, "Sorry, but where exactly is Malaysia again?"

I hope that one day Malaysia will become an MEDC, rather than just an NIC or an LEDC, and hopefully children all around the world will be educated in their geography lessons about Malaysia in the future.

I do believe we will all be able to help Malaysia do this one day, especially after the recession is over. Whether this will take years, decades, etc, I know that our country will grow stronger and stronger in time. After all, "Malaysia Boleh!", right?
