I refer to the Malaysiakini report Pakatan keeps 2 'bukits', BN wins Btg Ai .

The people of Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau have used their votes to voice their urge for changes.

The Najib administration has to treat these election results as a serious alarming signal from the people and therefore stop any political agenda immediately and concentrate on the issues faced by this nation.

For the past one year, we have seen enough politics. This nation, the politicians and the people have to wake up.

In the competitive race of the global economy, we are already lagging far behind. This lag together with the current global economic crisis give us no time to fight among ourselves.

The Malaysian leader was absent from the G20 summit held in London last week. Our neighbour Indonesia, (and very soon Thailand too) is a member of this group of the world's 20 largest national economies.

The G20 London Summit 2009 showed the power of the emerging countries such as BRIC, which is an acronym that refers to the fast growing developing economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China.

The acronym was first introduced and used by Goldman Sachs in 2001 to argue that since these four countries are developing rapidly, by 2050 the combined economies of the BRIC could eclipse the combined economies of the current richest countries of the world.

On Dec12, 2005, Goldman Sachs selected another 11 nations, all with promising outlooks for investment and future growth, as the Next Eleven (N-11).

These 11 nations - Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam - have been identified by Goldman Sachs as having a high potential of becoming the world's largest economies in the 21st century along with the BRIC.

Goldman Sachs used macroeconomic stability, political maturity, openness of trade and investment policies and the quality of education as criteria to choose these 11 nations .

Malaysia has been absent from the Asian Four Tigers, G20, BRIC and N-11. It is time for the new administration to review the issues facing the nation and benchmark our achievements against the criteria set up by Goldman Sachs especially the key indicators of political maturity - openness of trade and investment policies and the quality of education.

Among the N-11, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philippines, Pakistan and Vietnam supply labour and domestic helpers to our countries.

If we don't wake up and catch up in the global race, our next generations instead may risk being the labour and domestic helpers for these countries. It is time for the nation to scrutinise our economic policies and improve our education system.

The global race is like the Cambridge-Oxford boat race. We need all races to unite and row in the same direction with tactical strategies in order to win.

If the new administration has no interest in leading us Malaysians to win this race, we have to use our vote to kick them out from their office. We are running out of time. Wake up, Malaysian politicians.
