Malaysia running on empty, seeking a Jokowi

[superadmin]

Judging by social media postings, most Malaysians seem to be in adoration of Indonesian President Joko Widodo, more familiarly known as Jokowi.

People admire his humility, grace and leadership of the 270 million people he represents. There are so many positive postings, showing how close he is to his people and the heartbeat of the nation.

His stature has grown so much on the international stage that the foreign ministry has announced that Jokowi will meet leaders of Ukraine and Russia next week to advocate for peace and try to help ease a global food crisis, the first such trip by an Asian leader.

In Malaysia, we are running on empty. Running out of ideas, and with their backs to the wall, our leaders are putting forward incomprehensible proposals.
