00:00Former Law Minister Zayed Ibrahim dismissed a Bersatu leader's claim that Malaysia could

00:06still become an Asian tiger under a visionary prime minister, saying the country cannot be

00:11compared to real tigers like China, South Korea, or Singapore. Bersatu Supreme Council member

00:18Wan Ahmad Faisal Wan Ahmad Kamal said in an exclusive interview with FMT that such a prime

00:24minister should have the vision to rally all Malaysians transcending race and religion. In a

00:30post on X, Zayed said Wan Faisal should stop dreaming, saying even Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim,

00:35whom Zayed had previously thought to be a visionary, was unwilling to dismantle current policies. He

00:42added that the country's politicians and civil service are not the best and that education and

00:47economic policies are archaic. Zayed also said that the corrupt and rent seekers are protected

00:54and that preferences are given to selected groups. He added that Malaysia is a feudal oligarchy

01:00cemented by a religious bureaucracy. The Renaissance man himself dared not recalibrate and reform.

01:07Danish Rajareza, FMT.
