The new Wan Malaysia Ringgit 50 currency note is not colour-fast!

Is this perhaps an indication of the state of the nation, this pale remnant of what Malaysia used to be; is Malaysia now truly Wan Malaysia?

Is Wan Malaysia now a pale shadow, a dimming light, an unmaintained nation which thrives on the cheap and nasty, and wallows in misplaced pride?

Sadly it seems this is becoming more and more true as each day passes.
