I share with some of her 2011 resolutions. A lot of stuffs in Malaysia need fixing. Most importantly though, what goes in our head aka "mindsets". We should strife to have 1st class mindset and discard our 3rd world ones. 2020 is only nine years away. It looked more likely our neighbor down the causeway will get there first, in the truest sense.

Resolutions for one and all
MUSINGS By MARINA MAHATHIR

IT’S the New Year and, as with convention, we should really make resolutions, even though the chances of keeping them are slim.
I wish that our Government would resolve to:
2. Stop twisting words in order to spin what’s wrong into what’s right.
7. Remind some people that they are paid by taxpayers to do their job and that does not entitle them to act as if they are God’s representatives on earth.
10. Overhaul the entire education system to make it more open, democratic, and at par with the best in the world. And completely eradicate politics from it.
12. Ban the habit of giving titles to sports, arts and entertainment figures until they’re at least 50 or have had significant achievements in their field for a number of years. Roger Federer has been No 1 in the tennis world for a record-breaking 237 weeks and the Swiss government still hasn’t made him a Datuk.
I wish politicians would resolve to:
3. Be more self-reflective. And breathe before they say anything.
I wish the police would resolve to:
3. Stop shrugging their shoulders every time someone complains of their bags being snatched, laptops stolen etc. Police reports aren’t just for claiming insurance or getting new ICs done.
I wish Malaysians in general would:
1. Use their car signal lights for a change
3. Park in the right places, dead straight and not encroach onto empty spots.
7. Stop reading so much gossip and trash. It really doesn’t reflect well on us.
