Malaysia failed to achieve the ultimate objective of Vision 2020, which is to become a developed country by next year, due to the wrong strategies put up by the previous government, said Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.<br /><br />“Vision 2020 was not achieved because, for the last 15 years, wrong strategies and policies were emphasised by the previous administration."<br /><br />“They did not focus on achieving the objective of turning Malaysia into a developed nation in our own definition by the year 2020,” he told reporters after launching the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 (WKB 2030) at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today.
