Civilisation has progressed from an age of 'obey and follow' to o­ne of 'innovate and create'. This must also be true of rational discourse, argues M BAKRI MUSA, who draws parallels with Malaysia's attempts to shut down differing views.

Khairy (Jamaluddin), You have by now heard the news about malaysiakini's office being raided by the police.

The world is the house of God, whose children regardless of colour, creed and belief are welcomed. M BAKRI MUSA says diversity should be tolerated.

From one doctor to another in the first of a two-part essay, M BAKRI MUSA suggests possible new year resolutions for Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. His 'open letter'concludes tomorrow.

In our rush to cinta IT, guna IT , we have skipped some fundamental steps without which the ultimate objective of a knowledge society would be defeated. Above all, investing in our teachers should be the highest priority, says M BAKRI MUSA.

The solution to Malaysia's myriad education problems lies not with some esteemed committee of wise persons, but rather with trying out different models and finding out what works best. M BAKRI MUSA says this requires a major shift in thinking of the education establishment.

Which education system is better for Malaysians: bilingual or total English immersion? The current debate raging in the country about the new education policy brings to M BAKRI MUSA's mind a similar experience in the US.

Who are "economic terrorists"? Those who scram during the bad times after having made it during the good? No, retreating investors are not, says M BAKRI MUSA. He feels that instead of whining, Malaysia should emulate others who are successful in attracting investments.
