I have not read their list as detailed in this article Top 10 News of 2008 but here are the things I consider the most significant:
1.The beginning of the end of the USA as a world superpower. With its economy failing, the USA will lose much of its influence and will make a hasty retreat from Iraq; just like how they withdrew from Vietnam.
2.The pending demise of the BN coalition in the next elections as more moderate Malaysians realise that the BN has been in power for too long for the well-being of the nation.
3.The failure of local authorities to safeguard the safety and security of neighbourhoods as shown by the Bukit Antarabangsa landslide.
4.The rise of NGOs registered or otherwise like JERIT and the candle-lit vigils against the ISA as a sign of growing awareness among ordinary citizens to demand change in Malaysia.
5.The failure of the Prime Minister to execute the necessary reform programs for the Judiciary and the Police.
6.The inability of the federal authorities to respect and work together with states controlled by the opposition; thereby damaging the federal-state relationships.
If you have any item you consider of significance, please put in the comments section.
