The Merdeka Ideal - A Long Road Ahead

On our Merdeka edition of Current Affairs, we explore how our political culture, economy and society have evolved to shape Malaysia as we know it today. The question is, where are we on the road to becoming a developed, mature democracy - the Malaysian ideal we have sought to achieve, since the nation’s independence 59 years ago?

This is a report by Junmey Wang and Keith Kam.
