Malaysia In 100 Years: Will We Still Be Multicultural?

We're continuing our Merdeka and Malaysia Day series, where we discuss what our country might look like in a century. This time around, we explore the notion of our demographic moving toward a larger percentage of Malay-Muslims, and what it would mean for multiculturalism in the country - how might this shape the future of our country's policies, culture, and values?
