In GLOBALISING MALAYSIA, Mohd Najib Abdul Razak defines the concept of a developed nation and outlines how we should go about building one: by moulding the Malaysian society and economy to reflect the nation's own needs as well as those of its communities. The goal is to create and build a nation that is comprehensively developed, not merely in economic terms, but also to reflect a balanced society-a society that is not only caring  "but also knowledgeable by the year 2020. Based on a selection of speeches, this book highlights the challenges that Malaysia, as a nation and as part of a region, will confront in an increasingly complex world, a world that has, with globalisation, become smaller yet broader in its horizons and bigger in its capacity to bring prosperity to all. The journey is both long and challenging, and adjustments and sacrifices will have to be made as we tread our way forward. In this respect, socioeconomic plans are part of this adjustment process in finding our way in the labyrinth of a globalised world
