Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

by M. Bakri Musa
Two well-recognized factors to enhancing the quality of human capital are health and education.

Note to A Malaysian Obama

Friday, November 14th, 2008

by M. Bakri Musa
On Tuesday November 4th, 2008, America became, in the words of comedian Jon Stewart, more of a “show” nation and less of a “tell” one. In electing Barack Obama, America shows the world that it is now closer to being that “more perfect Union,” to quote the preamble to its [...]

Looking For UMNO’s Next Ex-Leader

Monday, October 20th, 2008

by M. Bakri Musa
At a recent gregarious social gathering a colleague, whose luck in personal relationships could best be described as challenged, was teased on whether she was scouting for her next ex-husband! With the current frenzied UMNO divisional nominating meetings, I am tempted to ask a similar question of [...]

Wise Decision And A Class Act

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

by M. Bakri Musa
Prime Minister Abdullah’s decision to resign is wise. That decision is good for him, his party, and most of all, for our nation. I am certain it was not easy for him to reach that decision but in the end he did it, “guided by my conscience” and placing [...]

Abdullah’s Pivotal “Non-Decision”

Monday, October 6th, 2008

by M. Bakri Musa
There are three possible decisions that Abdullah Badawi could make on or by October 9, 2008, ahead of his party’s divisional meetings. One, he could bravely declare that he will defend his post; two, announce his resignation; and three, waffle and leave it up in the air, effectively a “non-decision.”

“916” Not A Failure

Monday, September 29th, 2008
