They arrive on our
shores and fall in love. Visitors and expatriates are immediately enchanted
with our food and our people. And for
all intents and purposes, the modern metropolis projects a first-world facade.

modern. We have skyscrapers that are comparable to the best in the world, and
we have brandished them with great pride. The Twin Towers, together with our
participation in the F1 were both part of a strategic brand plan to put
Malaysia on the map. To a large extent we have succeeded.
But like any brand
plan, Malaysia, who excels in building and creating icons, seems to have
suffered not from a lack of vision but rather from a lack of sustainability.
And sustainability is
a word that many in Malaysia seem to have difficulty with.
