Ninth Plan

In 15 hours, the 9th Malaysia Plan is going to be announced in Parliament.

Is it going to be any different from its predecessors? Will it live up to calls for a meritocratic, non-racially biased society? How will it address economic competitiveness in the region and globally? 

Or a stalemate? Or the rust and rot, mould that grows from the insides unseen? Comes at a critical time. What will the people say?
