Nurturing thinking Malaysian citizens


THE vital and continuous task of nurturing thinking and compassionate citizens to ensure a comprehensive and holistic approach to nation building cannot be underrated. It is very tempting for politicians to chart a nation’s development only in terms of its physical development.

This is primarily because physical development is visible and has a short time span to complete – usually within the term of office of the political leader. It is easier for the politician to showcase this as his accomplishment compared to the policy of developing quality human capital, which requires a longer time period.
