Overcome complacency, speak up against injustices, Malaysians told

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: The founder of a renowned Hong Kong-based think tank has called on Malaysians to overcome their complacency and rise up to the challenge of helping the country achieve its true potential.

Chandran Nair, CEO and founder of the Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT), said many Malaysians remain silent on the pertinent issues of the day because they believe the country to be incapable of change.

Chandran disputes this but says that the responsibility of turning the country around falls on its citizens.

“A healthy parliamentary system is one in which people speak up,” said Chandran, adding that “development has a long trajectory” and may take an entire generation.
