TO build a Madani (or civilised) nation, scholars and thinkers must first seek out the cultural roots of our country, says national laureate Emeritus Prof Dr Muhammad Salleh.
Referencing old Malay literature to describe Madani, he explained that the concept brings along several important values, such as damai (at peace, with the absence of war and conflict), tenang (calmness), aman (peace), makmur (prosperity) and senang (ease).
