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.
