Problems of Malaysia[edit]

The problems of Malaysia are the common problems of most nations in the history of the world. They sold themselves out, and despite any strict codes of conduct, they still sold each other out. By the Prisoner's dilemma they mostly did not cooperate with each other and instead--when against superior organized and superior armed forces--they decided to defect in mass. The British has a history of being very well organized due to conflict and threat of repeated invasions where the sea became obvious for their survival, so they guarded the sea routes and defended Britain with the sea. Because they were superior organized with a natural large moat when the New World was found the British were up to the task to take a piece of it leading to Austria, Canada, United States, and New Zealand in addition to having trade across the world giving them better economic opportunities than many other nations including China (that is infamous for internal corruption and selling each other out where the United States and British military stood up to over 20,000 Chinese soldiers in the Boxer Rebellion for over thirty days and won with less than 1,000 soldiers and one engineer priest). Malaysia met the British, but the British never had the military power to take all of the nations they traded with, so what the British did was organize, inflict common law on the people where they could, and then watched the natives upstage each other instead of cooperate and have national identity. India is a good example of this where a few well won battles took the rest of India, as the natives were incapable of organizing without selling each other out (defect in the Prisoner's Dilemma).

Above statement are irrelevant to this wiki entry. And Malaysia does not exist prior 1963. --Sltan 03:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
