If that time

"If" is a perfect word to describe uncertainties.

If during the time when Sabah did not join the merger, Sabah could have become a very rich country. Yes, a country instead of a poor state. People live happily with the natural resources and the wealth given by God. No other people would exploit the source and take them away from Sabah. Only if that time the leaders of Sabah did not agree at the merger, Sabah could have a prosperous development till now.

If Malaysia is a country with wise government, all people regardless of Malay, Chinese or Indian will have a fair share of wealth distribution. Corruption is against the law and works are done according to procedures instead of connection of people. The legislation, judiciary and executives are independent, work well under the custodian of constitution. Malaysia with abundant natural resources and human resource will have a great leap forward under the good government's control.

There are too many IFs in the world and only IF can make the uncertainties perfect.
