    My Leadership Potential

    There isn’t a need for me to think for three minutes as I have decided long time ago to become the 11th Prime Minister of Malaysia, InsyaAllah. Why do I want to go that far? It is because, I love this country and I want to bring Malaysia and the Malaysians to the next level. Malaysians had enough of being in a developing country. Why do I set that as my goal? I believe 90% of Malaysian will agree with me that the current leadership of the country is not doing enough for the betterment of the people. Politicking will continue even so long after the General Election had finished. And there goes the 23 years of Malaysia rapid growth under Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. In other words, I would like to continue the legacy of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad in bringing Malaysia walking tall globally. Locally, the legacy of changing the mentality and mindset of Malaysians particularly the Malays should I also continue. There is no point in having tall physical buildings, long and wide roads as the people are still with low morality and uncivilised attitude.…

    Overview - Malaysia's Foreign Policy

    An Overview of Malaysia 's Foreign Policy As an extension of domestic policy, foreign policy is designed with the purpose in mind of defending and promoting the country 's national security, economic and other vital interests. Despite the diversity of views regarding the perception and explanation of foreign policy, no foreign policy can be formulated in a vacuum. It must serve to function in a dynamic environment. Malaysia 's foreign policy is no exception. Various geographical, historical, social and political determinants contribute to shaping the nature of Malaysia 's foreign policy and the conduct of the country 's international relations. Added to this is the external environment, or what may be termed as the systemic determinant, which becomes increasingly important with the advent of globalisation and in the wake of the epoch of communication and information technology (ICT). But the basic objective remains the same, i.e. the pursuit of Malaysia 's national interest at the international level. A critical examination of Malaysia 's foreign policy since 1957 would show its steady evolution characterised by notable changes in emphasis, which took place with the change in Malaysia 's political stewardship. A markedly anti-Communist and pro-western posture with close links to the Commonwealth under Tunku Abdul Rahman, our first Prime Minister, gave way to one based on non-alignment, neutralization and peaceful co-existence. Under Tun Abdul Razak, as a member of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC), Malaysia began to identify itself as a "Muslim nation." The search for new friends substantially increased the importance of NAM to Malaysia. Investments from other than British sources began to be also welcomed. A period of consolidation ensued under Tun Hussein Onn with ASEAN becoming the cornerstone of Malaysia 's foreign policy following the collapse of Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) in 1975, the withdrawal of the US military presence from Southeast Asia…

    Contributions of Tun Dr Mahathir

    Dr Mahathir was Malaysia's fourth Prime Minister and he worked very hard to develope our country since the day he was appointed as the Prime Minister. Dr M served as the prime minister of Malaysia for 22 years. He created a concept called VISION 2020, where by the year 2020 Malaysia is expected to be a fully developed country. He called upon the entire citizens of Malaysia to work harder and to prepare themselves to really achieve that vision. Dr M transformed Malaysia from a country that completely depended on self-subsistant agriculture, cultivation of rubber and tin mining, into a vibrant economic country based on trading and industrialisation. Malaysia now has heavy and high technology industries that have become more developed and competitive with other developed countries in the world. Besides that, Dr Mahathir took steps to enable Malaysia to face the future by establishing the Multimedia Super Corridor, which emphasizes ‘Information Technology’ as a very important asset for the country in the new millennium. Dr Mahathir also announced the National Car Project (Proton), which is one of the many important developments of Malaysia in achieving Vision 2020. In the field of literature, Dr Mahathir has contributed greatly since his schooling days. Due to his great interest in writing, Dr Mahathir was an editor of a magazine called Darulaman. Other than that, Dr Mahathir successfully handled the financial crisis 1997 and stabilized the Malaysian economy. All schools were equipped with computers with the help of Dr Mahathir.

Dr Mahathir beginned various large scale national projects, such as the North-South Highway, The Multimedia Super Corridor, Malaysia’s new administrative capital Putrajaya, Port of…

    Rules of separation of Power in Malaysia

    As we all know, Malaysia is a country that practices Parliamentary Democracy and Constitutional Monarchy since achieving independence from British rule on August 31, 1957. The structure of government in Malaysia is very similar to what is practiced in Great Britain. This is due to the fact that the Malay Peninsula, as Malaysia was formerly known, was a former British Colony and prior to its independence a commission was appointed to draft the Federal Constitution based on the system of parliamentary democracy as practiced in Great Britain. The independent commission was called The Reid Commission. The Federal Constitution divides the structure of government into three different main branches which are the Legislature, the Executive, and the Judiciary. Each of them has their own constitutional role to play.…
