What Went Wrong in Malaysia’s Nation-Building Journey?

Dato' Mohammed Hussein, Author of How Malaysia Missed 7 Chances at Nation-Building

26-Nov-24 15:00

What Went Wrong in Malaysia’s Nation-Building Journey?

Dato’ Mohammed Hussein was with the Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank) Group for 31 years. Prior to his retirement on 30 January 2008, he was the Deputy President/Executive Director/Chief Financial Officer of Maybank Group. 

He wrote a book recently— How Malaysia Missed 7 Chances at Nation-Building. In it, he analyses seven pivotal events in Malaysia’s history, including 13 May 1969 and the implementation of the NEP, and questions if these moments were opportunities missed in building a united and prosperous nation. We unpack the book with Dato’ Mohammed Hussein.
