CPPS-BC Young Malaysian Forum
The Future of Malaysia
– POLITICS, PHILOSOPHY & ECONOMICS
“Changing Landscapes
in Nation-Building Efforts”
27th November
2008 // Bar Council Auditorium, Kuala Lumpur
We are pleased to inform
you that the Centre for Public Policy Studies, ASLI (CPPS) and the Bar
Council (through its National Young Lawyers Committee) (BC) will jointly
organise the CPPS-BC Young Malaysians
Young Malaysians Forum on 27th October
2008 at the Bar Council, Kuala Lumpur.
The Forum is the succession
of the very well received Young Malaysians Roundtable Discussion on
National Unity that was held in 2007, at which HRH Raja Nazrin Shah,
Crown Prince of Perak gave the keynote address.
In light of the
prominent positions young Malaysians are already taking in the public
sphere, be it in the political, economic or social realms, the purpose
of the Forum is to further engage young Malaysians on their role in
shaping the direction and future of the country, within its
multi-ethnic and multi-religious settings. Sessions will include
discussions on issues such as political trends and future direction,
Malaysia’s role in the global economic climate as well as the Young
Malaysian’s role in Nation-Building.
This year’s Forum will
specifically focus on providing a platform for active dialogue on fundamental
issues affecting our country. These include the present domestic political
state, the global economic crisis and the challenges facing Malaysia
as well as the philosophical mindset that shapes the present and future
generations of Malaysians. We are hopeful that participants will leave
this forum with a more thorough understanding of the views and responses
of Young Malaysians on the challenges and trends facing our country
and their perceptions on strengthening the fabric of our society and
position in the world. The forum will then present a final document,
collating views and recommendations made by the young participants,
in setting a charter for the future of Malaysia.
