WHEN we declare Selangor a developed state we are not declaring that our state has achieved perfection and that there are no more faults or problems to solve; instead our declaration recognises an achievement that is plain for all to see. 

What is wrong with admitting that we have achieved something to be proud of? Are we to say that for more than 40 years since our independence Malaysia has not progressed?
