Singapore is successful, therefore Malaysia has been copying it for decades.
But has Malaysia succeeded in it's quest?
Why have they not succeeded?
Is it due to demographical or geographical reasons?
... due to People Reasons...
... Malaysia try to follow our government, their people will freak out on the streets daily!

If you are the first mover to buy company A stock at perhaps $1.00, the 2nd mover that invest in company A stock will only drive up the share price at a higher level than $1.00.
In investment, it matters if you are the act first investor or a follower investor. Follower investor will only feed on the scraps.
Don't think it's possible for Ma Ying Jeou to implement policies to entrench himself in the system, the Taiwanese people will protest and he will be out in the next election. They have a free press to expose him.
Taiwanese are more politically active.

Ma Ying Jeou is different from our ruling party. He respects democracy and will go forth do whatever that benefit his people in the country.
Taiwanese are commited to carry out to fulful what they desire. Looking at it positively, I am encouraged by their positive involvement in politics.
The reason for those who tried the LKY way but failed miserably - is due to the fact that it needs a 'Total Controlled' environment to have LKY's ways to succeed.
An environment that do not tolerate any challenge to his ideas, his policies, and his dictum - not even from within his own party.
Suharto failed when the more educated in Indonesian society began to see through the thin wall that was erected to conceal the corrupt acts and to protect the interest of Suharto, his family and his cronies from being attacked by Indonesian society.
The past and present Hongkong leadership can only fail in their attempts to imitate the thinking and policies of LKY - without adapting to their own social standards - as Hongkong has a far more open society that allow its Citizens to participate in the political process and be responsible for their own lives.
In contrast, LKY has placed the burden of responsibility for our own future on Singaporeans, while at the same time adding the weight of his decided policies without any consultation with Singaporeans.
The ingenious die-hard supporters will believe the ability of LKY and his Party in getting the mandate from Singaporeans at each Election has shown that Singaporean is largely supporting his policies.
This is farther from the truth, as almost half of Singaporeans do not get to vote in an Election System that is rigged in favor of the incumbent Political Party.
The GRC system was initially tendered to Singaporeans as a means of ensuring the political participation of the minority ethnic groups.
It has unfortunately, been fined tuned to be used as another means for entrenching the Incumbent Ruling Party by having the GRC being enlarged, while at the same time re-drawing the Electoral Boundaries to wipe out constituencies that have previsouly proven to be stronghold for the Alternative Parties.
Other strategies were instituted by LKY and his Parliamentary subordinates in passing legislations that chip away all possibilities of public support to any Alternative Parties - to the extent that records of the entire family tree of any supporter or activist in the Alternative Camp is monitored in the Super Cray Computer purchased by the Government, and placed under constant watch.
If one happen to be a computer programmer, and is unfortunate enough to have Low Thia Kiang as a brother, cousin or an uncle, your name will sound the alarm if your company sent your name to MINDEF for vetting as part of the Team to perform any contracted computer services at MINDEF or any sensitive Government installation besides the Military.
These are some of the direct and indirect methods used in the LKY First World to starve the Alternative Political Parties from getting any support.
This is the kind of First World Country created by LKY that has made the ''Majullah Singapura'' National Anthem and the ''Singapore Pledge'' to become nonsense.
Yet, it is remarkable that the trolls cannot see beyond the veil of the cleverly arranged propaganda, the shimmering glass towers, and clock-work systematic State supervision over the lives of Singaporeans.
With all the close attention to watch over the Citizens, can we be surprised that they fail to watch their own backyard, which resulted in the clever escape of Mas Selamat Kastari from a supposedly High Security Detention Centre operated by the Internal Security Department ?
Yet the trolls will not admit to the deficiencies of a One Man, One Party, One System, One Vision Rule for Singapore.
Even Russians have debunked Communism and Autocracy, and China is attempting to allow her Citizens to participate in the political process and control their own future at the village and county levels, and also at the National Level.
Despite the progress around the World, Singapore's politics is regressing towards that of Zimbabwe, where President Mugabe is as adapt as LKY in holding on to political power in an autocratic environment, with a twisted and managed Democratic Process used as a showpiece to justify their own legitimacy.
