IT is amazing how some people react negatively to the word “liberalism” these days. The reactions are very different from the time when Tunku Abdul Rahman declared the independence of Malaya and the formation of Malaysia.

The Tunku proclaimed liberty as the ideal that founded this nation, but this word is not well understood by some quarters today.
