REMINISCENCE OF MALAYSIAN VISION 2020

CHALLENGES IN THE VISION (English Version)
As a result of present political turmoil and the possible financial freak, maybe we had forgotten feeling that once our nation had a vision, known as ‘Wawasan 2020’ or ‘Vision 2020’. A vision which was introduced by the former prime minister of Malaysia, Tun Mahathir Mohamad Mahathir during the tabling of the Sixth Malaysia Plan in 1991.
The vision calls for a self-sufficient industrial, Malaysian-centric developed nation, complete with an economy, in 2020 that will be eightfold stronger than the economy of the early 1990s.
According to Tun Mahathir, Malaysia must overcome the nine challenges in order to turn the Vision 2020 into reality. The nine challenges are;
Challenge 1: To form a nation that stands as one.
Challenge 2: To produce a Malaysian community that has freedom, strength, and full of self confidence.
Challenge 3: To develop a mature democratic community.
Challenge 4: To form a community that has high morale, ethics and religious strength.
Challenge 5: To cultivate a community that is matured and tolerant.
Challenge 6: To form a progressive science community.
Challenge 7: To cultivate a community rich in values and loving culture.
Challenge 8: To ensure the formation of a community with a fair economy.
Challenge 9: To cultivate a prosperous community.
I wonder whether our vision are still in line with the obligation that once we agreed upon.

Wawasan 2020 patriotic song composed by Akbar Nawab.
Flags waving in the sky
Symbol of our great country
People united in one mind
Contributing in pride

Facing the challenges in the future
Full of sincere energy
Contributing for one purpose
With a pure vision

The vision boosts development
No more defects
Luxury is equally felt
Together we enjoy it

Vision 2020A far view
Not a dream but reality
Together we achieve it
