BACHOK, Aug 25 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's 37th ranking on "The World's Best Countries" list by Newsweek magazine has proven the opposition wrong.
Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin said opposition allegations that the Barisan Nasional (BN) government was corrupt and bankrupt were unfounded.
"They should be thankful to the government and not make such baseless allegations," he told reporters after breaking fast with Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) staff in Tangok Wednesday night.
Malaysia was ranked 37th for top globe nations by economy, politics, education, health and quality of life.
Newsweek placed Malaysia above Indonesia, Thailand, China, Philippines, India and Vietnam.
The magazine also ranked Malaysia 8th best in the world in education among developing countries.
Awang urged the opposition to stop spreading lies to make the people hate the government like Felda was bankrupt, cruel and neglected the poor Malays.
Reform undertaken by the government had proved fruitful as many children of farmers and fishermen had attained higher education and better quality of life.
"I am the son of a fisherman while International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed is the son of a tobacco grower. This can't be found in other countries where success is only for aristocrats."
Awang said initiatives like the New Economic Model NEM), Economic Transformation Plan and the Tenth Malaysia Plan (10MP) would strengthen government policies.

The leaders of Umno-led BN government have not learnt their lessons and are still saying that we should be thankful to the government.
The people are the ones who vote for and empowers the government. Sadly, for at least 50 years, the people has voted for BN who in return, has abused the power vested in her.
Look at 45-year-old Singapore, now a developed nation, is so much more advanced than us and ranked 20th in the "The World's Best Countries" list. The advancement of Singapore is the result of good governance!
