Being a collection of conference papers presented in a period of several years, this book documents the views, expectations, observations and constructive criticisms of a widely- known Malay academic who looks at the world and his own country from a universal Islamic perspective. Taken as a whole, the book captures the different processes and phases in the actualization of Islamic ethical and educational principles in a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural Malaysian society that is fast moving towards full industrial status by the year 2020. Although this book is addressed mainly to the Western-educated Muslim-Malay in both the public and the private sector, non-Muslims can benefit from the insights, perspectives and value framework of the Muslim-Malay intelligentsia contained in it. This book also represents a call to the leaders, decision-makers and elites of the Malay community, in particular, to push forward the ethical civilizational agenda in the Malaysian state and society.
