What Will Malaysia Look Like In 2040?

For our Merdeka Special, we look at what the next chapter holds for our country, and ask: What will Malaysia look like in 20 years? We uncover this by first looking at our economy, and examining how it could be more inclusive. Then, we look at how our education system could change and develop. Finally, we examine the question of how will our culture and identity shift in 20 years? Who will we be in 2040?
