The resolution of ethnic issues in Malaysia is the key performance indicator for the rest of the world to sit up, take notice and emulate.From a macroeconomic perspective, it is potentially the most powerful and effective intellectual export to the rest of the world due to Malaysia's unique racial demographics.
However, racial and religious problems are been resolved by old methods, old ways and half- heartedly in action notwithstanding good intentions of leaders like Badawi.
Can Malaysia export a practical solution to the world's crisis of confidence in religious and ethnic conflicts apart from the current brand of political racism and polite tolerance?
Lack of intellectual courage and creativity is always the result of lack of desire to excel in the global market of great ideas. This is why the most powerful intellectual solution to Malaysia's problems has not been explored deeply enough and remains a shadow of a vision.
Alas, those who are still content with our palm oil and electronics exports should brace ahead for 2009.
