The theme for Malaysia Forum NY and KL 2014 is ‘Sekarang’, which means ‘now’ in Bahasa Malaysia. The theme was chosen in part to reflect on the post-GE 13 sentiments of the nation.
The theme for Malaysia Forum Singapore 2014 is ‘Bersama-sama/Together-gether’ which seeks to examine the reconciliation of tensions in Malaysia.
Malaysia Forum team believes it is a timely juncture to ask questions pertaining how we as citizens can contribute to the development of our country today, instead of waiting for the next general elections to discuss and exercise our political freedom. It also the time to examine the tensions that exist within our society and ask how and why these tensions exist, as well as reflect upon what best serves the interest of an entire nation that is easily fragmented. We have constructed our panels across three MF audiences to approach pertinent Malaysian topics of today, and what exactly it means to be a citizen of Malaysia. Among the topics discussed are technology, entrepreneurship, democracy, education, film, ethnoreligious relations and brain drain.
