Dr Mahathir said the importance of being hardworking does not only result in different outcomes for individuals, but also for an entire race or nation. Dr Mahathir said he felt it was possible for Malaysia to become a developed country as its citizens have the same capabilities as others, but highlighted hard work as a key element for such success.
“That’s all we ask from the younger generation... We don’t ask much — be hardworking, be diligent, put in effort repeatedly,” he said.“If we have such values, we will succeed, our people will succeed, our country will succeed, we will achieve developed nation status,” he said, referring to these three life values which he said would determine the country’s success.
