What policies, initiatives and factors accounted for Malaysia’s transformation from the agrarian backwater at the point of its independence from the British colonial power into its present status as one
of the world’s biggest trading nations?
Perdana Leadership Foundation invites authors, writers and researchers to
contribute articles for its upcoming publication, “Blueprint of Malaysian Success”
scheduled to be printed by the end of 2016. The book aims to not only describe
but more importantly, to also explain the policies, initiatives and/or factors that
accounted for Malaysia’s success. Besides identifying the major policies, initiatives
and/or factors that have altered the development path of the nation, the papers or
articles in this book present a rigorous and critical quantitative and/or qualitative analysis of the benefits as well as challenges faced in their implementation or execution.
“The country’s development was phenomenal. Over 30 years or so, it was
transformed from a rather poor agricultural country into the world’s 17th biggest
trading nation, with 82 per cent of total exports of over USD100 billion made up of
manufactured goods. Malaysia’s infrastructure is comparable to that of developed
countries and includes a network of first-class highways that crisscross the country
and reliable electricity and water supplies.” (Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, “A Doctor
in the House”, 2011, pp. 503-504).
This book is envisioned to serve as a major learning resource and reference for
policymakers, students, researchers, academicians, writers and the reading public in
Malaysia and around the world. The significance of this book is established by Tun
Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s foreword in setting the tone for its content and positioning
it as a critical resource and reference on Malaysian leadership and nation-building.
