Why Malaysia is Quietly Becoming Filthy Rich

Malaysia is rapidly and quietly rising and soon will become one of the richest countries in Asia but why?

[ibnLodin]

It also means Malaysia needs to synchronize its workers' salaries to be globally competitive and not rely on low wages for its skilled workforce to attract foreign capital.

Malaysia supposed to become high income country in 2020 like South Korea and Taiwan but stuck in middle income trap. If government take advantage of industrial revolution 4.0 seriously Malaysia will become high income country.

Malaysia have always been rich but we were unlucky to have useless and corrupt leaders throughout except for the very early leaders. Now we are the way to be rich as our PM now is probably the best PM ever. Thank you PM Anwar!

Malaysia already rich since 2020 and advance country but keep quite to maintain economy grow...don't want his neighbor have ill feeling 😂😂😂

[taetaeya]

Average malaysian salary is US$600, by no means are they rich.

[serenepoh]

Malaysia will be Rich when those expertise which drained out previously willingly return to support Malaysia’s growth; not just increasing income.

Malaysia telah dianggap sebagai negara yang mungkin terperangkap dalam **"middle-income trap"** sejak sekitar **awal 2000-an**. Walaupun Malaysia mengalami pertumbuhan ekonomi yang pesat dari tahun 1970-an hingga 1990-an, terutamanya dengan peralihan dari ekonomi berasaskan pertanian kepada ekonomi berasaskan industri, pertumbuhan ekonomi mula perlahan apabila negara mencapai status negara berpendapatan sederhana tinggi.

Beberapa sebab yang menyumbang kepada kemungkinan Malaysia terperangkap dalam perangkap ini termasuk:
1. **Produktiviti rendah** - Walaupun terdapat peningkatan infrastruktur, produktiviti pekerja dan industri masih tertinggal di belakang negara berpendapatan tinggi.
2. **Kebergantungan pada industri lama** - Ekonomi Malaysia masih sangat bergantung pada eksport komoditi seperti minyak sawit dan petroleum, serta pengeluaran elektronik asas.
3. **Kekurangan inovasi** - Berbanding negara maju, Malaysia kurang fokus kepada inovasi teknologi dan pembangunan syarikat berasaskan teknologi.
4. **Jurang kemahiran** - Kekurangan tenaga kerja berkemahiran tinggi dan pergantungan kepada buruh asing murah menyebabkan Malaysia sukar untuk bersaing dengan ekonomi maju.

Sejak 2010, kerajaan Malaysia telah melaksanakan pelbagai pelan seperti **Model Ekonomi Baru** (NEM) untuk menangani masalah ini, dengan fokus kepada inovasi, pendidikan, dan sektor perkhidmatan bernilai tinggi. Namun, Malaysia masih dianggap berada dalam risiko perangkap pendapatan sederhana hingga kini.

Malaysia should achieve high income country in 2020 but some crazy Malaysians chose to elect crazy government that changed PM almost every year. Now high income achivement delayed to 2028. Bravo raykat!!!

I don’t feel rich, let alone filthy rich

[wKheir]

Untuk mencapai negara benar2 maju sepertimana Germany or Japan adalah dipercayai bahawa 1 pengorbanan tinggi harus dilakukan yg bersifat patriotic seiras kamikaze dimana para pakar2 Malaysia seluruh dunia harus berkumpul di dalam negara dan contribute to this country to a certain set point. Whether it with low wages or lot of times involved but with glory of advance economy at the end. May be a guarantee for housing for instance etc. But all.must be back as a national team an contribute significantly.
Problem is, Yes. Brain drained.

Mengapa cip dunia berlumba-lumba datang ke Malaysia beramai-ramai dan tambah pelaburan, kerana di Malaysia ada REE yg jarang ada di negara lain, REE kita yg paling terbaik di dunia banyak item dalam satu mineral ia amat langka, di luar negara ada REE itemnya kurang dan banyak tempat boleh di tamui di Malaysia sangat luar biasa dan langka, REE di Malaysia adalah untuk Technology zaman hadapan, negara2 luar mereka dah tahu melalui satelit jgn tanya negara2 besar dunia berebut2 melabur di Malaysia.

Why I don't feel like filthy rich?. Not nearing neither rich nor filthy rich 😂. With skyrocketing food prices, house rentals and taxes... I miss RM 1 nasi lemak

[WhatWhoWhere]

Malaysia is culturally rich, not financially if compared with its neighbour Singapore.
One example would be, the country fails to keep many of its young professionals due to lower wages. Sad but true. Corruption is rampant, still.

[tclilamn]

Malaysia is rich and modern, however, a young Malay man serves as a fresh engineer is only given RM2, 200 starting salary by the private sector. How come? Hmm...low paying actually compared to other countries😢
Then, you have all the expenses like fuel to go to work, food, rent etc. How much is left for saving? Not to mention, study loan of ptpn ...Hmm..

haha what a joke it'll never progress past the limits of NEP and 3R
