She gently nudged the little creature and gave it milk. Day after day, she cared for it, fed it, protected it, and eventually brought it to live among her own herd. The cub grew under the cow's loving care. It learned everything from her. It grazed on grass, walked peacefully with the cattle, and never harmed another animal. It saw the cow as its mother and believed it was no different from the animals around it. Years passed, and the little cub became a magnificent lion. His muscles were strong, his claws sharp, his roar powerful, and his presence commanded respect. Yet he remained gentle because of the love and upbringing he had received from the cow.

MALAYSIA's HIDDEN DEBT TRAP: WHEN BORROWING BECOMES A WAY OF LIFE Household debt has climbed relentlessly over the decades, now sitting at around 84–85 per cent of GDP as of mid-2025, placing the country perilously close to Thailand’s regional high of roughly 87 per cent Malaysia’s economy continues to post respectable GDP growth figures, yet beneath the surface lies a deepening structural crisis that official statistics barely acknowledge.
