20 years ago.
we think that we can't and will never be able to dig out oil and gas from the deep sea with our own expertise.everybody think that it is almost impossible for us locals to manage the oil platform, let alone the search for new wells.but now?Malaysian expertise is seek by a big oil company all around the world, especially in geological science, malaysian is very good at that.

that's 50 years of independence only..dont compare with those who already enjoying 100years of independence and a stable politics and corruption (this is our main problem).

and i think 20 years later we might already cracks that helium butts ourself and produce fusion power! don't follow others but lead them.some brainiac at MIT already managed to produce fusion power but only with low efficiency and they said they need more 50 years to make it 100% efficient.
