Exemplary leadership needed

Many people I spoke to are gravely concerned with the current leadership crisis and ‘trust deficit’ in our beloved nation. Leaders with the required competence and high moral intelligence are becoming scarcer, not only at the national level but also at the organisational level, including academia.

The historical truth about ‘pendatang’ in Malaysia

I refer to the recent controversy pertaining to the comment made by Tan Lai Soon, a Gerakan delegate, that the Malays too were “pendatang” (immigrants). What may shock the Gerakan leadership, which decided to suspend him in haste due to reasons best known to them, is that there is some historical truth to his assertion. What may also shock many others is the fact that in 1941, there were more Chinese (43 percent) than Malays (41 percent) in Malaya.

Authentic and bold leadership needed

Our beloved nation is not only at a crossroads but its basic social fabric, national harmony and continued progress is being threatened by racial and religious extremists who are getting bolder day by day.
